What do we think of Ibanez Quantum Humbuckers? | The Gear Page
Dec 1, 2018 · IMO, the only decent pickups Ibanez has ever made are the Super 58s and Super 70s. Everything else ranges from bleh to awful. The Quantums were even worse than the V series pickups. Anything by Dimarzio will be a huge upgrade. I have an RG with a Virtual PAF and Air Norton, and another one with an Air Norton and AT-1. My AR-50 still has Super 70s.
Ibenez Artcore AS73 Humbuckers Upgrade Pickups - The Gear Page
Mar 8, 2019 · The stock pickups on my AS73 were something I struggled with for a while. The neck was decent, but sounded flat without much character. Could be the guitar, and I won't know until new pickups go in. The bridge was a dark over-wound mess at ~14K. You may want to replace the pickup selector, if not all of the electronics, while you're in there.
Looking for pickup recommendations for my Ibanez AS73
Jun 29, 2022 · You might also drop a couple of humbucker sized P90 single coils. If you're concerned about noise, wire the pickups in parallel out of phase for the middle position. I have had good luck dropping GFS Dream 90s into a Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet, and in a Steinberger Spirit GT Pro that had weak or meh humbuckers.
Ibanez Super 80 "Flying Fingers" Pickups - The Gear Page
Apr 17, 2010 · I have a few Ibanez guitars with the pickups in them. Some are stock (to my 335-ish model 2630 and Artist model 2622) and I put a pair, on purpose, into my AS103NT (another 335-ish guitar). The pickups are hotter than PAF types, but not anywhere near being like Super Distortions. Their output is around 9 ohms, if I remember correctly.
Ibanez AZ - Hyperion Pickups? - The Gear Page
Dec 7, 2020 · I have a bunch of Ibanez S and RG guitars and I am pleased with the stock pickups - both single coils and humbuckers. They sound good for high gain and clean tones thanks to the wiring options on their selector switches. I would trust the stock pickups and fiddle with the height adjustments before considering replacements.
Ibanez Super 58 Pickups | Page 2 | The Gear Page
Apr 28, 2018 · The Custom 58 pickups that originally came in the Antique Yellow Sunburst and Transparent Red Sunburst Artcore AM93 circa 2011-2014 were certainly Alnico just as Ibanez claimed. Lots of people who have never seen them, much less taken them apart (as I have) or heard them make lots of bold claims about them having ceramics and not sounding as ...
Made in China Ibanez Super 58 pickups | The Gear Page
Feb 4, 2021 · There are several sources that present the pickups in the AR520 as Alnico and most all these sources get their ad copy info from Ibanez. Then I looked on the Ibanez Wiki that sources back all their pickup versions including the different derivatives of the Super 58's and it shows them as being either Alnico III or ceramic versions.
Ibanez Super 58 HB pickups - The Gear Page
Nov 21, 2009 · I have a '84 Ibanez Artist with original Super 58's in it. The guitar plays and sounds great. The 58's have great articulation but fatten up nicely with the tone knob. Every so often I wonder how the 58's compare to other PAF style pickups on the market but my 58's have the 3 adjustment scew pickup rings and its lefty to boot.
Ibanez Super 58 Neck Pickup Dull - The Gear Page
Jun 6, 2014 · I recently picked up a 2001 Ibanez As80 semi-hollow. It's a great guitar and supposedly has the famed Super 58 pickups. I like the bridge pickup quite a bit. It's on the bright side for a humbucker, which I guess is typical for 58's but I like that because I'm more of a single coil guy. It still has plenty of girth and power though.
My Ibanez Az with new pickups!! | Page 2 - The Gear Page
Jul 3, 2019 · I changed out the pickups on my Ibanez az “Lady Arya”! The stock Seymour Duncan Hyperion pickups weren’t my cup of tea. So I put a Suhr thornbucker plus in the bright & Suhr ml standard middle & neck. I also got rid of their switching system as I never used it & thought it was a bit much. So now I have 2 volumes & a master tone which is ...
