I have this nooby ibanez i got as a gift 2 years ago from my sis, i don't plan on getting rid of it cause its a gift and it plays very well. But it doesn't sound that good, i didn't know about the shitty wood in-till after i put super distortions on it.

 

 

I'm think about throwing actives on it if i cant find any pups that will work for this guitar, no EMG's of course. [flapper]

 

If i have to get actives, i was thinking about these. http://guitarheads.net/products/pickups/acthbset.html

SD Blackouts, dude.

Thats what i was thinking.

I was also thinking to put the dave mustaine one in the bridge because its more versatile then regular blackouts and put a live wire classic two in the neck.

Dem00n, what exactly is the difference between the normals and the Mustaine's?

The blackouts are more of a straight on high output heavy metal active pickup.

The Musatine one is still high output but not as high as the blackouts, i would still be able to get a nice clean tone out of the Mustaine, on the website you can see the differences to.

Good idea. The DM pickup is ace.

I don't think agathis is necessarily a "sh!tty" wood for a guitar. It IS inexpensive, but not necessarily "sh!tty".

AGATHIS CHRISTI " Double Mystery " active pickups...[crying][flapper] ..

 

What about Bare Knuckle pick ups ???
