I recently, as of Friday picked up a great looking and sounding guitar, but the Bucker's in it aren't really want I'm looking for, I am so used to my Gibson ES-137 sound, that I was really thrown off by the Ibanez/Duncan HH sound. So I don't need any High Output Humbuckers, any suggestions on what would give me a nice clean sound, and let my Distortion Pedals do the work for me. The tone wizard suggested a SH-1N '59 for the Neck, which I completely agree with, now the Bridge, probably my most common position on this guitar, it suggested either a SH-5 or a SH-15 Custom 5. Any suggestions, I really need your help here! Thanks

a C5b works great with a 59n, but it is pretty high output i'd say

a matched set of 59s would be great too

of course a set of seths or ants would be incredible :D

Thanks for the info, anybody else have any recommendations?
Would 2 SD 59's sound good?

What kind of music do you generaly play? I'd say a set of 59s or Seths for light to omderate distortion and softer rock... and the custom for more modern/heavier music.

I used to play in a Phish Cover Band, thus the Gibson ES-137 Classic was my goal to achieve Trey Anastasio's Tone. Now the band I'm in plays a variety of Rock and some Hard Rock, but I wouldn't call it Metal.One thing about the Ibanez SZ720, is that there is a standard 3-Way Toggle switch, but the 1st Position is the Bridge, 2nd position, is like a Coil Split, it takes one Single Coil of the Bridge and one of the Neck, and then the 3rd is just the Neck, so there is alot of versatily in this guitar. I just need to find the right, lowest output SD's they make. Some of the songs we play are:
-Breaking Benjamin
-Tool
-Foo Fighters
-HIM
-10 Years
-Silverchair
-Some Iron Maiden (emphasize Some!)
-Staind
-S.T.P.
-Alice in Chains
The thing is, that I have a Great Fender Twin and a Mesa Boogie 50/50 Power Amp, so I don't need any type of High Output pups, just something very Passive, and let my Amp and Pedals do the work for me. I just can't seem to find anything that sounds like what I want, and my Monitor Speakers for my Computer don't do the Amazing Library of Sounds that SD provides as Audio Clips to each one of there pups! HELP PLease! :)
