I've got an all original 1989 540R in Jewel Blue. HSS version. The same model that they featured in the old Ibanez catalogs next to a picture of Joe Satrian (at least until he had his own signature model).
It has the original DiMarzio-made F1 + C1 + C1 pickups. I like the way they sound. A little hotter output than what my my vintage-style Strat and Les Paul can put out.
But, being a Satch fan, I'm thinking of putting in the Mo'Joe + Fast Track + Satch Track combo. What differences would I expect to hear if I made this swap?
Another option I've considered is keeping the pickup compliment more historically close to what would have been available when the guitar was new. So maybe a FRED + HS-2 + HS-2.
Thoughts?
