Hi, I've an Ibanez RG652AHM with ash body, maple neck and fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets and edge trem. I'm going to change the pickups and I'm thinking about what I may buy :scratchch When I think of the tone I'd like to have the keyword is warmth. Obviously the guitar is very bright sounding, so I'd like to darken it. I've always liked the JB, now in the bridge I've a DiMarzio AT-1 pickup which to my ears sounds like a warm JB without the very sharp attack that the JB typically have, so for the bridge position I want to stay in the same tone area. I love the Perpetual Burn, but I'm not 100% sure that this pickups could match my description. In the neck position I what to be as close as possible to the Slash's tone, consider the example of the Sweet child o'mine intro, but I'd like that the pickup keeps clarity and precision also during fast note picking patterns. My thoughts are: Pearly Gates, that I love and Sentient, even if I think it's too modern sounding for my needs; the neck pickup is the most complicated choice. I hope I've explain myself, it's very difficult to decribe sounds with words and even more difficult in another language. So your thoughts ? Share your experience and your ideas, all options are open to me. Thanks for your time.
