... i have an Ibanez GRG170DX that has turned into my first project guitar and im ordering some new pickups on friday...
...i cant decide what i want though... im after a metal sound with great harmonics. i was thinking dimarzios but they seem to be hard to get ahold of and i have no idea what model to get if i did get them. i think im going to buy 2 humbuckers and miss out the single coil since i dont have the money for that right now. so... im looking for 2 humbucker pickups for a combined price of around £100 (with a bit extra if needed). also... if anyone has any good websites for pickups (im in the UK) please could you post them.

hey i am gonna buy some pickups this year. the best place for pickups are probably thomann => http://www.thomann.de/gb/cat.html?gf=humbu...kups&oa=ala
they got a good selection of pickups, lots of dimarzios 6 pages infact (25 per page) im getting dimarzio super distortion soap bars to replace original ones on my tc-90 or http://www.guitarpartsshop.co.uk/acatalog/DiMarzio.html they got some pickups that thomann dnt have but they cost a few pence more in general thomann needs to add some postage whilst guitar parts shop postage is included in the end they both add up to around the same price!! u says you want a gd metal sound...https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=9967 This post has been edited by kevin-riff-after-riff: Jan 1 2008, 08:27 PM |

If you dare to take a shot at these (click) it's not costing you more than £50 for a couple humbuckers.
I've seen these long ago and listened to the sound samples and I for one like the vintage tone a lot. -------------------- My bands homepage

i think im going for a Dimebucker (bridge) and an APH-1 (neck)
its either that or i save up for a few month and get an atomic amp for my POD X3. think i'll go for the pickups though. -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.
