I have a RG470 with the original V7 on the neck and a DiMarzio Super Distortion for bridge. I really don't dislike the V7 pickup, but I want to change it with something better and maybe slightly higher output. I have an Air Norton (the JP Custom version) and D-Sonic on a cheaper RG that I don't...

Mmmm i love the smell of Aqua Net in the morning.... I've always loved this solo, but just now learned it! Its a hoot. Vitto was a really creative tapper for sure. Good ****. Playing my swirled Ibanez RG7421 here with the good ol' Dimarzio D Sonic 7 in the bridge. I truly adore the sound of that...

Hi guys! Just bought a '92 ibanez S Custom Shop Series (not really a custom guitar just a marketing idea). For the neck i'll go for a liquifire that's a wonderful neck pickup IMO. But my problem is this: The bridge pickup! I need something ballsy and chuggy with an enough focused attack for...

Hey everyone, Selling two pickups from my 2000 RG3210, I've been gutting this thing getting it ready for new hardware and pickups and paint job. F-Spaced Air Norton $25 F-Spaced D Sonic $25 Or $40 buying them together. PM me for any inquiries/offers. They both come with the...

Just dropped one into my 7620, and while it is a good pickup, particularly for cleans, it just isn't my thing, so I'm looking for something with more output like a D Activator 7 or x2n7. Got references on sevenstring, and one here :)

Woohoo! Never had an Ibanez before, and I think I may be a convert. I've had a few guitars before, a Gibson Les Paul Standard, an ESP EC-1000, an ESP H-1001, and I currently own an ESP Standard Horizon NTII, and Fender Tele Deluxe 72 Reissue. This thing feels better than my ESP Standard, and it...

Hey guys! I'm a new Ibanez convert and have just bought an S420 that's on it's way (though I'll always love my ESP Horizon... sorry!). I have played a few Ibanez's before and like many others am not the biggest fan of the INF pickups so I went ahead and ordered a set of the F-spaced D-sonic...

hey guys i recently got a rga121 natural finish and its had the pickups change out and they are awful. I'm looking for some good alround picksups mainly used for prog and metal. I have a jsx head. The rga 121 is mahogany with maple top and maple neck and rosewood fingure board. Clarity and...

hi guys i just got my first ibanez. Its a rga 121; maple neck, rosewood finger board, maple top mahogany body. I got it used in perfect condition for 400! however it has vintage very low out put pups. I need to swap them out asap. I kno i want dimarzios but can't make my mind. Since i'm...

Got a new Alder guitar, and was looking at both of these. Which one is tighter in the bass, and brighter, with a good mix of both high/low mids?

Is this correct?

Which one has good crunch for rhythm, and good high mids for leads?

Hi There! I got this Ibanez RG2550 as my main axe and i'm waiting to trade my ESP EC-500 to RG550. Now i got those dmz/ibz stock pickups(very very lame in every level compared to my ex-washburns Distortion/59 set) in my RG and i want more "oomph, like Gilbert says it" and i'm going to get a...

I hear with the bar toward the bridge, the sound is tighter and brighter. How is the bass and mids that way?

In a Strat for Metal.

well i have a rg1570 with an evo2 and paf pro and absolutely love that bridge pickup but that guitar stays in standard tuning. i have an s1625 and that floats between step down and drop c tunings and i want your suggestions for a good pickup for the bridge.... i'm thinking maybe an air nortan...

Hi, all... So I recently bought an RG2550z Prestige model. So far, I'm fairly happy with it. I can probably tweek the setup a little more for playability, but overall, VERY happy. Another thing I'd like to change is the pups. I'd like a little more output, better harmonics, and (at the bridge...

I showed my roomie the D sonic and he says its basically that. Having never heard a "lipstick" pickup, I would never know. Any thoughts on it. Also, single coil humbuckers are garbage (according to him). Any comments would be lovely for my next little tech debate with him :D. I've never heard a...
