I put the Wolfetone back in the bridge, neck pickup is a dummy for now, I don't have a double black neck pickup I like enough to wire up.

I just couldn't deal with the zebras in black rings, IMO they don't look right in black rings. I like the Wolfetone well enough, it's my second favorite pickup. And this allowed me to put my favorite knobs back on it. I'll get a neck pickup eventually, but I'm in no hurry, other than my Tele I barely use a neck pickup anyway.

I would except I just put a $100+ wiring harness in it and right now I'm only using half of it.
Just gonna add my 2 cents…
Not sure how I’d feel about bridge black/neck zebra though.

Yeah I tried that first, didn't like it.
Yeah…I’m attached because that’s the configuration “The SG” models came with, and that was the first SG model I ever played(belonged to a friend). So I have a fond memory associated with it.

I'm pretty sure I talked about this here before. Do any of y'all remember me talking about this guitar being cursed before?? I said I've rewired it countless times and it'll play for a while and then it just dies? Well, I was playing it last night after I swapped the pickups and it was fine, I put it away and haven't touched it until just now and guess what?....it's dead as a door nail. The curse lives on. 
I think this is the last straw, I'm tired of stressing over this guitar..I think it's time to just get rid of it and chalk it up to experience. I'll get it working again, I always do, then I'll just take it up to GC and take whatever they'll give me for it before it dies again. Maybe someone else will have better luck with it.

I had a jack in a Telecaster that would do that just often enough to drive me nuts.

It's not one thing, I've completely rewired this guitar many times with all new components and wires and something always dies after just a short time. This time I do suspect the jack because when I wiggled the wired to the jack it went from silent to a hiss. I'll work on it after I get over being pissed at it.
