hello guys as the title says im looking for a new pickups for my ibanez series H-S-H, my guitar has a zero resistance tremolo like a floyd rose, so
my musical preferences are rock and blues, form rock music the most heavy that i like is iron maiden megadeth, so i was thinking about the distortion or the jb trembucker for the bridge position because of the floating tremolo, for the middle pickup i want some start sound for i really don't know which one to choose, and for the neck position im thinking in the 59 pickup over the jazz pickup because the 59 has more output. by the way right now i have an emg pickups but i want a warm sound, which pickups do you suggest me to choose?
is there any ibanez series guitar user that could give an advice!

i really thank all of you for taking your time to read my post
and for any advice

I've had a couple of the Ibanez S-models. That model has a Mahogany body with maple top, which is why I am going to suggest you avoid the JB. If I were going to try the JB in that, I would switch the A5 magnet to an A2 magnet. The Distortion would be OK, but the highs can get piercing in those guitars with the wrong rig. The ZR trems impart a little bit of metallic clink/clank to the tone.

I would suggest a PATB-1 in that guitar. Similar to a JB, but a little fatter without the big mid hump, and works better with mahogany. The PATB neck model would work well in the neck too. A Dimarzio Super Distortion would sound great in there too, so would the Dimarzio Breeds.

Forgot to mention, the Jazz sounds fine in the neck of those, but the Full Shred neck is even better.

Thanks for your advice,i wonder which pickup is the PATB-1 i can't find it in the seymour duncan website, also you mention that with the wrong rig the distortion pickup ca go wrong, i have an 50 watts EVH amp, and a fuzz pedal Mojo Hand Iron Bell and also an overdrive rook royale, would the pickup work fine with this rig?

i used an evolution dimarzio before but i didn't like it i never could get a decent sound, i don't know why, that why i want to tray with seymour duncan. i will check the full shredder pickup its sound interesting

thanks againg Mr.B
