Hello everybody,
I am new to this forum but you seem like a bunch of very knowledgable and nice people. I appreciate any help, thanks.
I have a Ibanez RG-570 with stock pickups v7 (humbucker neck) s1 (middle single coil) and v8 (humbucker bridge). The guitar has a total of only two knobs: (1) volume and (2) treble/bass combined.
I was thinking of changing the v8 (humbucker bridge) to a Duncan Distortion SH-6.
Here are my questions:
(1) Can I just leave the other two stock pickups: v7 and s1 on the guitar?
(2) Or is it just best to change them all?
(3) If it is best to change them all should I put a duncan distortion tb-6 as the neck humbucker (I think the sh-6 and tb-6 were designed to work together, no?) Or do you recommend another humbucker for the neck?
(By the way I like hard rock/metal in the style of judas priest, metallica, slayer, in flames, etc.).
(4) Which duncan would you recommend for the single coil? (see above for my tone preferences).
(5) Does a normal duncan setup require more than the 2 knobs I have? (1) is volume and (2) is treble/bass combined...
Thanks so much for your help.
