I have a 93 - 94 RG470 with the same stock pickups. It was the first brand new guitar that I had bought and I loved it, still do. As I have gotten older, my ear has changed and the picks just lack something, especially the bridge pickup. The V8 just sounds thin when playing a chord, especially overdriven. Looking for pickups to get a fuller and tighter sound. DiMarzio is my pickups of choice, just not sure which ones.

I'm late to the party, but I didn't see anyone mention the most common "fix" for the classic Ibanez V7 V8, which is to swap the magnets. IDK why they did a ceramic neck and alnico bridge but when you swap it I find it fixes everything you tend to dislike about the V humbuckers. If you still got em laying around I'd say it's worth a shot!

I have an rg1570 also and several years ago I replaced the stock pickups with Dimarzio Breeds. Oddly enough, I actually preferred the sound I got from the stock pickups to what I was hearing from the Breeds. I’m thinking about replacing the Breeds in my guitar with a set of Dimarzio 36th anniversary pafs. I play a lot of classic rock, blues and a little jazz and r&b so I don’t really need a high output pickup. I enjoy watching your videos, awesome playing!

Dimarzio and Ibanez seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly. I'm just trying to decide on which pickups to go with. I used to have a Jem with the Breed pickups that I really liked, but i don't think they make those anymore. Looking at maybe a Super Distortion with an Air Norton. Dunno.

I think many players do not spent time dialing pickup height and pole piece heights according to their guitars and the sound they are looking for. String gauge, bridge system, Wood and scale length amongst many other things affect the the results we are expecting. If you have a pup that gets you into the ballpark of the sound you are looking for, spending time tune it in might make you discover the awesome in your head was already there.

Ibanez make great guitars and Dimarzio are the best passive pickups (although I use Fishman's in another guitar). You really can't go wrong with a combination like that!

I know what a somewhat hard choice this has been for you, but im glad you finally changed them out. Dimarzio and ibanez fit very well together. Your cleans seem to have a more darker sound. Your distorted sounds seem to have more backbone, especially on chords. They will take some finding your tone, your ears are used to the stock pick ups.....

Cool video. I bought a Prestige RG652 recently with a fixed bridge and it has a Tone Zone, Air Norton combo. What didn't you like about the Tone Zone? On my guitar I think it beefs up the sound of the Ash body and maple neck/fretboard but I find it a little spongy for fast downpicking. Maybe it's just in my head. My amp is also kind of bass heavy. But at the same time I really like how it responds to fast gallops.

What stops me is that I'm afraid it's not going to sound like my Les Paul any more and I will put the stock pickups right back in again. :-) Every guitar doesn't have to be geared purely for metal.

@@jasonstallworth ahh cool. I think based on your experience ill stick with them. they all have pros and cons. Personally I feel that the v8 bridge is a little muddy in high gain lead tone scenarios. have you heard of swapping the magnets from the v7 to the v8? apparently it can be quite good?

From the vids I've seen, if you're looking for higher output in the bridge, you'd use DiMarzio D-Activator X kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaaoeapnn5udjZI If you downtune to D Standard, I would go for Seymour-Duncan Black Winter. Best SD pickups for prog Metal kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2mWfZ2ugtGLiKc Was the burnt orange, Kramer HSS gone? I was sort of hoping you'd go for it too... ;P

@@jasonstallworth I thought about down-tuning your Ibanez, because you seem to like to play heavy riffs on your 7-strings & play in the lower register of frequencies. Hence, if you down-tune the 6 strings to D Standard or at least E Flat, it might be more to your taste & you'll get a heavier sound. From what I've heard of all 6-strings Ibanez equipped with DiMarzio, they all have excellent/superb ''Cleans'' & high frequencies, high-pitch Lead tones for 80's style Leads, but for heavier (low frequencies) rhythm parts, the pickups seems to fall apart with High gain amplifiers. The D-Activator X seems to be the exception. Here's the video that convinced me that the Black Winter were possibly the best invention after sliced bread! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmapZ515hZKdbcU :D

@@Juicexlx Yeah dude, I don't wanna downtune any of my guitars. That was the whole reason for getting a 7 string so that I could get those lower notes without dowtuning. I keep everything in standard because I also record for other artists sometimes, and play other styles besides metal. As far as the pickups go, I'm gonna hold out for a while but I will probably eventually change them!

Congrats, you went with the most overused and boring pair of DiMarzios. The Air Norton is fine for a vintage-voiced humbucker but the Tone Zone is absolutely bland, all bass and low-mids, no upper-mids or highs. You don't even need to pay so much nowadays for good pickups. Search for Dragonfire Screamers/Crusaders or IronGear Metal Machine.

I'm not sure if you watched the entire video but there's a story behind why I went with these (had the first part of the story not happened, I would have more than likely went with something else). But yes, I'm going to be searching for another set very soon.
