Well I have an SG and a Les Paul Standard. Kent from Wo Fat suggested them to me. The Drop n Gains and the Nitrohemis.

I've heard good things about the Drop N Gains in an SG on a different forum. But, they don't really have the ability to be clean at all from what I understood. So as long as you're looking for a mostly overdriven sound, I'd say why not. I'm sure they'd be heavy sounding

Yea I don't do much clean and I tune down to C so it would be a great fit

Sweet! They seem reasonably priced as well, and I'm sure you could always flip it on here if you didn't like it

i have the red silver blue set in my strat. i used to love them, they sound awesome with any amount of gain, but the clean tones are very sterile.

I'm not much of a clean tone guy, plus I would still keep my LP stock, and only change it in my SG. If I wanted clean I would go with the LP. My SG is a monster and could use more gritty high output.

I really don't get why suddenly a bunch of doom guys are using Lace. Like, didn't eric clapton use those?

If Clapton did use them, then that's another awesome reason to get them.
