The Blaze II pickups are the stock Dimarzio's equipped with every Ibanez Universe ever made and also the RG76XX guitars that have since been discontinued.

But believe it or not, I have the "Ultimate answer" to this question, straight from Dimarzio´s own tech support back when I still had my seven and was looking to "pigeonhole" the Blaze Customs so I´d know my starting point. I don´t have the mail anymore, but I can tell you the jist of what he said ...

What Ibanez calls The Blaze Custom / Blaze II and such are all still the same pickup, we only wind one set of Blaze pickups for seven strings.

I was very surprised to read that in their answer, IIRC the Bridge was a Super 2 type voicing and the neck was voiced like a super distortion.... but I may have that switched around ;)
 
Re: Dimarzio question! (zerb? :D)

bah! they both sound like radio static under high gain!! :laugh2:

they have NO mids! i need some clips man, you guys'll laugh :D maybe im spoilt here

yeah, its MIJ and very very well made :) its a basswood body, rosewood board. how would custom/jazz sound? im pretty much set on jazz for the neck, which SD 7 string pups would go close to 'passion + warfare' era vai?

I agree... "Doomed to Fail" was done with a Duncan Custom, sounded quite a bit better ;)
