Any suggestions on what type of pick-ups I should get to put into a Ibanez RG 160. I play basic bar chords mostly, and often with heavy fuzz. I play in a contemporary Christian ROCK band and I have recently switched from bass to Rythm guitar so I am still learning chords. I like the deep metal/distorted sound. Thanks.

Re: Pick-ups for Ibanez RG 160 B
I tried to look up the RG 160 on the Ibanez zite and only found 150s and 170s so Im not exactly sure if you have an h/s/h or h/h guitar and this makes a difference. I'd suggest a JB, Dime or Distortion in the bridge and a four conductor 59 in the neck. If you have a single coil in the middle and want to keep the switching stock you'll need a top south SD single coil to keep everything hum cancelling and phased correctly.
With my RG 550 I went with a JB in the bridge, a JB jr in the middle and a 59 in the neck and I changed the wiring so that the bridge and neck pickups don't split.
