Nice piece.
What do the Livewire Classics sound like? Compared to maybe EMGs, Blackouts or normal passives. Im under the impression that they are sort of low output actives very passive-like sort of in the middle of high-output actives and passives. I've always wanted to try or hear these.
Maybe Frank or someone or anybaody can tell first-hand experience.

The Classics are the only actives i have so i can't say what they are like compared to EMG's or the like but i think they were designed to be like an active PAF. Before i had the Nitro Booster in which gives 15dB boost i felt the tone was kinda like the JB but now it's more in Distortion territory.
One thing i will say is it is the best neck pickup i have ever heard.

I sold the Original D-Activators that came stock in it almost 2 years ago and replaced them with the Duncan Full Shred Set which are still in there. But I've been thinking about getting a Dimarzio Liquifire in the Neck with possibly a Dimarzio Norton or Evo2 for the bridge.

Fair enough, I thought you replaced the original D-Activators with D-Acivator Xs for a while. Apparently I'm just imagining things...

Re: The 'post your Ibanez' thread
^^ That's pretty damn interesting and a tasteful execution of an archtop S-style - I've never seen one before. It's one of the things about Ibanez, they've made so many types of guitars, you often see something turn up that makes you go 'oh!'.
As for why Ibanez use their own pickups - cheaper in the house, and they make most of their money from lower end guitars like RG350s and whatnot, so it works out well for them.
