Which sounds better? - Parker, Ibanez, Ernie Ball, or anyoth

[Given to Fly]

Which piezo pickups sound better in these brand of guitars? Hopefully if I get enough reply's I will be able to pick the most common one and go try that out. At the store the guy said that the Ernie Ball sounded better than the Ibanez but I wasn't there to try that out at the time. Since I can't drive it would be hard to get there on a whim so I would like opinions so when I go to try them out I can have an idea of what to look for. Thank You very much and I appreciate you comments.

I know I definately prefered the piezo in the double edge as opposed to the Parker, but I don't know about the others...

I prefer the piezo in the Parker, I feel it sounds more acoustic than that of the double edge, the double edge only sounds good IMHO through an acoustic amp, the advantage of the double edge is that you have 2 outputs...not so sure about the Parker. But to me for sound and playability as well as the killer looks, the Parker wins anytime!

Playability on the Parker is more than top notch...notes flow seemlessly, everything is so so so fluid. I'll never forget my first Parker experience...I'm still going to get myself one

From what I understand, the whole purpose of the Parker was to have an incredible piezo. I have played a Parker, compared it to the JPM piezo and a X-Baggs I had in my Tom Anderson... In order of best sounding : *1) Parker, 2) JPM, 3) TA.

Havnt heard the Ibanez tho... hope that helps!

From a purely instrumental stance, I did not find my parker experience to be a good one. *It felt good but not solid in a way that builds confidence in me.

My tastes probably differ from yours, though. *my favorite guitars are USA Jacksons and Ibanez's.

From almost everything I've heard from experienced players though, the Parker has everything else beat as far as the piezo goes. *Only one way to find out though -- play them.
