versatile pickup

Hey guys! I have my eyes set on a 'Jackson DK2M Pro Series Dinky' (check link at the bottom) and I really want to make some improvements on it once I get it. Okay, so the guitar comes with Seymour Duncan pickups (TB4 and SH2N). I was thinking of replacing them with DiMarzio pups. I play for a...

Well i've recently acquired this alder H-H soloist that came stock with EMG 81 and 85 and they're really starting to get on my nerves. Always that little gain boost, the compression and subtle lack of note deffinition is so annoying. And cleans are just a joke on these things. So I guess what im...

So i'm thinking of getting a 7 string, and i'd like the advice of the experts on here as to what models to look for and which ones to avoid. Basically, i'm looking for an Ibanez, NOT a Universe, as i want just a 2 humbucker pickup config, and i want it to have a locking trem. So, Which models...

I'd like to replace the stock pickup on my '91 RG 570. My style goes from '70s rock to metal. Waht should I choose? Super Distortion, Tone Zone or some other option?

When I say near mint, it's a couple of swirls away from nos. Still has all plastic on the covers and unopened case candy. An honest 9.8 out of 10. It's montego black which is a pearl like black with bronze/gold glitter that matches the pickguard. If it was any other color, you would not see...

I want to change the original EVO's. I am trying to get a very saturated, yet clear, gain tone that I can get George Lynch style tone with. Also some very high gain "death metal" type rhythm tone. Yeah yeah, wrong guitar etc..... I was thinking Screamin' Demon or maybe EVO II? Amplification...

Hey guys, hope to get some useful advice here. I have a Ibanez RG1550, in which I plan to install a Sustainiac. According to their homepage this MUST be installed in the neck and effect the sound coming from the bridge pup... Whats the problem, you wonder? Well, I have always liked to use the...

I play in Drop-D (mahogany body) and B Standard (walnut body) Caparisons, could anyone suggest a bridge humbucker and single coil space neck humbucker for these guitars? I've heard the D-sonic is good for drop tunings but i'd like more opinions :)

hi guys, i own a 7620.. with stock pups and replacement neck by warmoth. not long ago i traded my fender 212r with a JCM2000 dsl201.. i tried it with the ibanez, its like a water and oil.. wont sound good together.. i tried many possible setups.. from low bass, high mid, low treble up to the...

24 Frets, Scalloped Frets, Lion's Claw, Tilt Output Jack, Vine & Pyramid Inlays, Great Necks, Versatile Pickups. I just can't contain my love for them anymore and had to post this thread. I hope you understand ;)

i just ordered this one can someone pls tell me how it will sound like in an ibanez rg basswood bridge....artist?

For sale is my like new Ibanez RG1570. Silver in color. Air Norton in the neck, FS-1 in the middle, and Steve's Special in the bridge. Comes with hard shell case. Very versatile pickup combo allows for a wide range of tones. The cleans are simply beautiful with the FS-1, and it blends very well...

I will report back in a little while, but for right now, I will leave you all with some pictures. The pictures aren't so great since this is even harder to photograph than I thought. It DOESN'T get any more dirty than any other guitar, but it just looks that way because of the finish.

I've pretty much decided on using a PRS Dragon 2 pickup in the neck position, but I do not know what to drop into the bridge. Ive heard good things about Bill Lawrence L-500, but I'm not the biggest fan of Dime's tone (a bit sharp for my taste). Maybe a breed or a Seymour Duncan?

So I got my D-activators into my RG1570 today. I am very impressed with them. They sound very similar to my Schecter Hellraiser with EMGs (81 & 85) with a bit less midrange. They are very similar in output to the EMGs. They do seem a bit more colorful. I like the neck D-Activator much more...

What do you all think of this? I have great respect for the instrument. I also realise that this question could flow onto other guitars such as the Les Paul and Strat, but what do you think? I am also prepaired for the onslaught of angry JEM owners :P

I have an RGA 121 and I'm trying to pick a set of Dimarzios. I need versatility. I play either tech metal, hard rock, or post rock instrumental ambient stuff. yes, i do have multiple personalities. haha. for the bridge: i love mids for my distortion. crunch = happy. i need the bass to be...

Hi all I recently bought an Ibanez RG2 giger. They come with INF1 and INF2. Are these any good ? I do want to change them with some dimarzio evo2's or evolutions. any info in the INF1 or INF2 would be great !!! Thanks in advance

How's a tone zone for instrumental rock like Satch or the like. I don't really want a Moe Joe or Fred because I play some harder stuff to. Thinking about a Tone Zone or breed.
