I'm considering the purchase of a classic Ibanez guitar with Super 8A single coil pickups in it. I can find no information about them online, other than a list of models they came in. Does anyone have any information? Architecture/output/magnet type/anything at all?

I was expecting my Phoenix tomorrow, but it arrived today. It's killer! I will never buy another Gibson again. Anyway I was too busy playing it to take pics but I'll get some tomorrow and post my early impressions.
