Re: Dimarzio IBZ pickups
I work at a guitar store in AL that carries Ibanez. I asked our rep what the Duncan/IBZ p/u's were suppossed to be like and he said that the Duncan/IBZs were based on the Screamin' Demon & Jazz models. Not clear about the Dimarzio stuff though... it would be something comparable I'm sure.

Re: Dimarzio IBZ pickups
IMO these pickups sound better in mahogany Ibanez models. my SA2020 sounds good with them, no plans to swap.

Re: Dimarzio IBZ pickups
The Duncan/Ibanez pups in the non-prestige SZ are a modified Distortion Bridge and neck combo that are made in Korea along with the Duncan Designed pups, afaik. Much to powerfull to be a Demon/Jazz combo too...
The DiMarzio/IBZ are custom made for Ibanez by DiMarzio in their New York factory and are not equivilants to anything in their line-up.

Re: Dimarzio IBZ pickups
From DiMarzio:
The DiMarzio®/IBZ pickups in the Ibanez RG2120 and RG2570EX are specifically designed and manufactured by DiMarzio® for Ibanez, and they are not available separately. Like all DiMarzio® pickups, they are made in our New York factory. Both neck and bridge pickups are high-output models. The neck pickup is fairly bright-sounding, similar to a Super 2™ (DP104). The bridge pickup is a little louder and warmer-sounding, and resembles a cross between the Steve Morse Bridge Model™ (DP200) and the Super Distortion® (DP100). The R1 single-coil is warmer-sounding than a typical vintage single-coil, and was designed to work well with the neck and bridge humbuckers when they are in split mode. It has a sound similar to that of the HS-2™ in split-coil mode.
