Hi
I have just treated myself to a new Ibanez RG1570, lovely guitar, thin neck, low action and a dream to play etc!!!! Anyway, i was thinking of changing the pups, can't make my mind to go for option 1, Dimarzio Fred (bridge) Dimarzio
PAF pro (neck) Seymour Duncan cool rails (middle), would that be a well balanced set of pups?? Option 2, Dimarzio Evolutions (Bridge and neck) with a cool rails in the middle, and finally option 3, Seymour Duncan Custom/Distortion (bridge) Seymour Duncan Jazz/59 (neck) with a cool rails in the middle. Would this combination work well with a basswood body guitar with a locking trem???
Any other suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
I like the Satriani/Vai/Van Halen/McAlpine sound, playing etc

Cheers in advance
Trev

Just installed a Dimazio FRED and PAF Pro, into my RG1570, well happy with the sound, harmonics just pass through air, nice balanced distortion sound and the PAFPro is a excellent neck pick-up with this guitar!! Left in the Ibanez
single coil S1 because it seems to complement these pups brilliantly!! Although as i like changing things for changes sake this will more than likely
be replaced with a Cool Rails.
To sum up, well worth the time, money and effet, in you fancy something
different from the JB/JAZ or Custom/59 this is the path to go on!!!

A buddy of mine just installed the Fred, he likes it alot although I have yet to try one myself.

I agree about the S1, mine seems to work well with the high output pups with it.
