In this video, Gordie Johnson of Wide Mouth Mason, Grady, and Big Sugar discusses his Gibson Gordie Johnson Signature SG in this Rig of the Week episode, stating, "This was just like a plain-jane SG that we pulled off a shelf...somewhere in Toronto, pawn shop, ... it was cheap, in the low hundreds of dollars... man, I just loved the sound of it... I put these Gibson custom pickups in it, P-94 pickups... If you wanted to put a P-90 in a guitar that had humbuckers you had to chop it up, that was there solution to that. But they sound different than a P-90, a little beefier sounding, and so I put these in it".
