Here's the deal: I have the chance of buying an used Blue Velvet Bridge for my S470 that has a pair of Evos and I just don't know if it is RW/RP, let's assume it isn't, will positions 2 & 4 be out of phase? Is there any way to wire the whole thing up so I get those two positions in phase?

I bought this new earlier this year as a backup guitar, but I'm not using it. Comes with Roadrunner hardshell case. Black Official Floyd Rose installed with a Duncan Jazz in the neck, Dimarzio Blue Velvet bridge in the middle and a vintage IBZUSA Dimarzio F1 pickup in the bridge. Black hardware...

1. DiMarzio Evo2 bridge (£42) - bought used right here and installed for less than a week. Mint condition, with about 3.5" wire left (enough for bridge position). Sounds great but I'd like a higher output pickup to match my Evo neck which is really hot. Pic (Evo2 right). 2. DiMarzio Blue...

So with my new S540 coming that will become my #1, I'm left with my RG and a few pups sitting around. Not sure what I should install in it. Here's what I have in my tool box: Duncan Jazz Neck IBZUSA C3 [single coil] IBZUSA F1 IBZUSA F2 Ibanez QMS1 [single coil] Ibanez QM1 Dimarzio Blue Velvet...

OK...I'm going to install an F1 in the bridge of my RG, an F2 in the neck and I'd love to find a C3 for the middle, but cannot find one...so I'm going to try a Blue Velvet bridge pup in the middle since that's the next closest thing, as per Dimarzio Since this is going in the middle, I'd assume...

I've been having some difficulty locating these pups and was wondering if there's anything that's comparable to these pups that are current production models. Thanks!

I'm going for one in the middle position, however the models are Bridge and Neck, which should I use for the middle position?

How do y'all think a Breed neck in the bridge, a Red Velvet in the middle, and a PAF Pro in the neck would sound on an RG550 with a maple fretboard?

Hi all. I dont post here often for various reasons. In fact I joined in 02 and this is post #6, crazy right, I have trolled for a good 5 years though! I have an great RG350 thats been fantastic for me so far. I love this guitar. I got very lucky on this one, bought it for super cheap second...

I have a rg that i just put an evo in and I love it so much, just it made my middle and neck pickups sound bad. So I've been trying to decide between an Evo Neck and Evo Neck pickup or a Blue Velvet Bridge for middle and an Air Norton.

Hi! I want to change the pickups on my rg550ex.. I've read that the x2n at the bridge and the ToneZone in the neck is a killer combo ( i play mostly rock/metal), but what can i choose for the single coil? I'm searching for something good also for clean rythmics (like funky etc..) Thanks!

I got my evo, soon I should have it installed in my rg and then I'll try and record a little sound clip, also i recently found my mic so I am going to also test mic'ing my cab.

Did Ibanez cheap out with their stock pickups? I was thinking about how Ibanez used to include REAL DiMarzio pickups as stock pickups on a lot of models, like the RG3120 and a few others. It seems like even the really high end Prestiges come with those Ibanez/ DiMarzio pickups rather than real...

Hello, i ve got a vigier excalibur custom with a seymour duncan custom 5 in the bridge. Not that bad, but i'm looking for something louder and a little bit more aggressive an punchier, so i'm looking for the air zone or norton. I prefer not to take the tonezone because i red that the bass could...

Hello! I'm trying to find out specifically what current humbuckers on the market are either exactly like or most similar to the F3 and F2 humbuckers Ibanez used in the early 90's. I plan to have a custom guitar built using new pups and want to get as close to the way those hums sounded as...

Well, time for me to go guitar hunting again. This time I'm only going local and Singapore. So there's a seller in Singapore selling his RG450MMH. From what I know, it's got an Edge Pro and a Mahogany body. The pickups have been swapped for an Air Norton (neck) and an Evo (Bridge). Since it's EP...

I special ordered an Air Norton, Blue Velvet Bridge and Evo 2 for my crappy little GRG170DX. Reading around I find out I should have gotten the Blue Velvet in reverse polarity? This is my first time installing new pickups so I'm not sure what to do. Just reverse the wires for the Blue Velvet and...

I have a dimarzio made F-1,F-2 and a single coil size C-2 that i want to sell as a set all three are in excellent condition and have plenty of lead wire. here is the only info i could find on these from dimarzio C2 Ibanez Similar to HS-2 (DP116) C3 Ibanez No equivalent. Closest model is Blue...

Okay, about 2 1/2 moths ago I bought a 1989 RG760 on E(vil)bay, as a fixer-upper backup to my RG750.. I decided I'd wait till it got here, then make up my mind about what mods to do.. So, I get the guitar, Jewel Blue, and I think: "you know, this would look sweet with a white pearl pickguard...

Hi there, the Vs have to go! I've so far decided for an Air Norton in neck position and a HS-2 middle PU. But I can't decide which Bridge Pickup to get. If that helps: I've got an IBZ/USA F3 in my Saber, and I love it. Considering my radius has a basswood body, I'm not really sure what to...
