Hey all, I'm about to buy a new guitar and I'm starting to narrow down my options. I've heard great things about the Ibanez RG1570's and RG2550E's, so I'm wondering what others would do in my position. The only real complaints I've heard about the RG1570's involve the pickups. I myself do not know a whole lot about pickups, but from what I've read, most people decide to put DiMarzio Evolutions into their 1570's. My question is this: would it be smarter to buy a 1570 with additional pickups (which I am incapable - at this point - of installing), or just go with the 2550E and its stock pickups for about $150 more?
