Hey guys, I'm looking to replace the bridge pickups in my 2005 Ibanez SZ 520. It's string thru, mahogany body w/maple cap and a mahogany neck. I'm looking at the Duncan JB, I'm into stuff like Avenged Sevenfold, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage. I play through a Peavey XXX and a modded 5150...

Has anyone tried this? I'm thinking of an Invader for my Mahogany Ibanez w/maple cap. I'm afraid it will be muddy and too dark. I'm going for a Lamb of God vibe.

Hey guys, I just purchased an Ibanez SZ 520 QM that's got a mahogany body and neck with a maple cap. I'm actually an EMG guy and have an 81/60 combo in another guitar that I love but I also like the openness of passives. I've actually never played a quality passive pickup other than a JB in...

Does anyone know why 5150 cabs are only 16 ohms and do not have a slector to go 4 or 8 ohms? Is it because it was made for the 5150 head only? I just find it interesting coming from Peavey as they make alot of solidstate amps but no cabs that are 4 ohms so you could never really use the full...

Just ordered one, I can only hope it's what I'm looking for. Descriptions are hard to go by. Has anyone used one and how do you like them? I know dimarzio has a 30 day return policy so if I donb't like it I'll just return it for something else.

I picked up an Ibanez 7 string today and I'm debating on what kind of pups to through in it. Mahogany body with a maple neck. I need something that's really tight with heavy distortion. Clarity is the key. I was thinking either a Dimarzio Blaze or Evolution or a SD Distortion or Custom...

Well I played a used Ibanez AX 7221 7 string today at my local shop and i absolutely loved the way it played. It's in great condition except for a small crack in the body on the edge of the pickup housing. Will this affect the guitar in any way tonally or down the road? The guitar is only...

what type of routing is required to install these? is there significant alterarions to the pickup cavity?
