i've been listening to seven string and mindstorm again and holy god, joe's seven string riff tone is just beyond awesome...
what pickups are in there, customs? anyone knows how to nail that sound?

PAF PRO7 neck and a custom wound FRED7 bridge

any pickup to match that fred7?

Closest thing would probably be the PAF 7.

I was under the impression that DiMarzio can custom-wind pickups for you at no additional cost. I'm sure they can duplicate the custom 7's that were designed for Joe. Also keep in mind that you are hearing those through a mahogany-bodied JS prototype w/a 22-fret neck. Assuming you drop those pickups into a basswood or other type of guitar, the tones will be a little different. Good luck!

the pickups would be for a 24-fret mahog RG

should be quite close i guess...
i'll try to ask dmz, but has anyone ever done a custom pickup request?

DiMarzio does NOT make custom pickups, unfortunately.
