Re: Good Combo?
I don't know what guitar you have, or style of music, but I'd recommend the Custom/59n. The tone is a little better IMO.

Frets are pretty good.. the Pick-ups now suck..they're falling out and everything... i think the stock screw was too small... But i can't wait to order my Duncan's!! I'm pumped about it!

Re: Good Combo?
Quick Question: Will it sound REALLY crappy with those pick-ups if I need to plug in my headphones into my amplifier? Also, I'm using a 10-Watt Ibanez Combo Amp. Would these pick-ups work better with a higher wattage? Because I can't afford a new amp, and I want something that sounds good with my Amp as well.... Also, Every now and then, I'll use a Boss DS-1 Super Distortion pedal.. It's kinda old, but still works.. It's kind of a Hand-Me-Down from my Step-Dad who's 45..... A little help on this one please. Thanks!

P.S. I think he (My step-dad) said he baught it about 10-15 years ago.... (At least i was alive when he baught them!! )

Re: Good Combo?
quite honestly, I don't think it will help that much with that amp...but when you move up - look out! In fact, a new amp might be a more important tool for better sound. DS-1 is a cool pedal all around. But 59/Distortion is a great setup. I love my Distortion!!!!

Re: Good Combo?
Thank you.
But yeah..I'm not incredibly rich... I can't really afford a new amp at all. It's kind of depressing...oh, well... But thanks for the input.

Re: Good Combo?
Hey man - you are 17. Ya gotta start somewhere. I'm gonna say the #1 tone generator above all else is the amp. Then the guitar, followed by the pups. A great amp with a mediocre guitar will sound good. An awesome guitar & killer pups through a junk amp will still be junk. Save up for a while. You can get some really good amps for ~ 300. Those pups will be over 100. That's a third of the way there. And the Ibanez is a perfectlky decent platform for a good set of pups!

Pups together: $140 (Free shipping - no tax)
And I want to save up..but I also need to save up for a camera... I'm a big photographer, as well... And a decent camera will run me roughly $300 as well..haha. Thanks, though.

Re: Good Combo?
I cannot argue with a 59n, but I can say I like the DD bridge with a Screamin Demon in the neck. The SD sounds like a brighter, higher output 59 with tighter low end, and it matches the DD bridge well IMO. Different than the DD neck, but it's been a while since I heard the DD neck.

How much is the Screamin Demon for the neck? because i can't exceed $140, anyways. Thank you, though.
