OK. So I have an '83 Ibanez Destroyer "Phil Collen". Started out life as a DT-500 that the original owner (West Coast Ibanez rep) ordered in black. So I put in a Kahler and middle pickup.
Problem, to maintain the look, I need the bridge pickup to be double cream. So, sadly, that leaves Seymour Duncan out. It's a 3-piece maple neck, basswood body with a thin Maple cap.
It has the original Ibanez V-2, and it really is kinda bland. Meaning it really doesn't pick up harmonics well. My other guitars are the opposite. Harmonics jump off them.
So I'm considering a few options: Suhr Aldrich, Lawrence/Wilde L500XL, and the Dimarzio Steve Morse.
My '76 Destroyer now has a 59/Custom Hybrid with an A8 mag. It absolutely kills.
I'm open to any and all suggestions. BTW, when played acoustically, the harmonics are all there. It isn't the guitar.
