  • just got an ibanez sv420m, need pickup suggestions

    i just got an ibanez sv420 which is a s body ibanez with a vintage trem on an oiled mahgony body. it has a h/s/h setup with original ibanez pickups and i want to replace the humbuckers in it.
    i really like the sound of a the gibson 490 pickups or the mccarty pickups.
    since they only come in 2 conductors and not 4 (i'm not certain about this but thats what the gc guy told me), what other model pickups can give me that sound in a 4 conductor config?
    thanks for the help.

    Dimarzio's are the pickups that belong in an Ibanez. Accept no substitutes.
    Here is my suggestion:

    Bridge---Steves Special
    Middle ---HS2
    Neck---Air Norton

    OR

    Bridge---Evolution
    Middle---HS2
    Neck----PAF Pro (if you want a different tone and output), Evolution (if you want a rip roaring balanced output)
