can't comment specifically on the SG but when it comes to dropping down to C you're going to have to get used to how floppy the strings feel. being that you're looking at a gibson you'll have a 24.75" scale neck length, which naturally makes the strings feel looser than a fender style 25.5" length at standard pitch.

even using .13 strings on a 25.5" scale length it was a huge adjustment in getting used to how loose the strings felt under my fingers. it's significant enough to keep in mind when eyeballing new guitars.

then again... it WAS good enough for Tony Iommi back in the day...
