Help with choosing pickups

04-28-2005, 01:14 PM

Hello I receiced an Ibanez EX guitar as a gift and it has two double coil pickups at the neck and the bridge and a single at the midpoint. I play blues and some rock. I also have a USA strat as well. But since this was a gift I would like to play it. I would love to get new pickups for the sound I am looking for.

Thank you for your help

Re: Help with choosing pickups

welcome to the forum

i would say that for blues / rock, in that guitar, a set of 59s would be very good with a vintage rails in the middle ... another combination to consider would be the AIIP in the neck and PG in the bridge, this would be good for blues, plus have a little bit 'extra' in the bridge for rock .. a cool rails in the middle would balance nicely with this set i think ...

good luck
