Which pickups are these: DiMarzio V2 and V3?


Hi,
I got a quick question about the pickups I encountered in my RG 550 LTD PN. I bought this thinking I was getting DiMarzio Evolutions in them (complete set). They are the white version with the gold polepieces for the humbuckers and DiMarzio in gold lettering on them. However when I took the pickguard out to clean/change the pots I noticed that they did not have the DP158 or DP159 on the back (as opposed to my other set of Evolutions). Instead it says :

Neck pickup:
F
DiMarzio
V2

Single coil:
Sticker with V2 on it

Bidge pickup:
F
DiMarzio
V3

Furthermore the lettering on the front and on the back are all orientated the same way: so on the front it says DiMarzio in gold lettering at the right bottom on all 3 pickups; and on the back it is like I showed above. So no pickup is upside down (like on my Jem 777VBK with PAF V1 pickups).
So my question is: are these Evolutions or another type?
Thank you in advance.
Patrick

Re: Which pickups are these?


I have contacted DiMarzio and I immediately got a response. Apparently the V2 and V3 humbuckers are the Evolution neck and bridge respectively. DiMarzio uses the codes for Evolutions that they make for Ibanez. The only difference from the retail models is the logo. The V2 single is in fact the ISCV2. So the set I have in the guitar must have come from an Ibanez with Evolutions installed (Jem 7VWH?).
