The pickups you mentioned are just better stock pickups, not what you would expect from a 1000€ guitar... unfortunatley Ibanez equips their great Prestige guitars with cheap pickups but you can always swap them for other pickups!
The RGA is great, nothing wrong besides a pickup swap if you don't like them. Another similiar guitar would be the Jackson SLSMG (The red one Instructor Trond Vold Plays!!!) It has the same body style as the RG, string through (with great sustain), a slim neck (almost as thin as the Wizard Neck), a huge cutaway with 24 frets and it comes with EMG 81/85 pickups which are just AWESOME for Heavyrock & Metal!!! You can order the guitars from Thomann, they ship to Norway! http://www.thomann.de/de/jackson_slsmgbk.htm --------------------  Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

But I forgot to mention in my post above, I don`t want ordinary plain black, I want a bit more "good"looking guitar, maybe a little exotic finish  . For example flamed or quilted maple.I don`t have much to say about the EMG`s. Those who play metal says they love them(usually) and more softrockers (not pussyrock, just not heavymetal) don`t like them. Someone calls it waste, putting EMG`s in a expensive guitar, because they claim you can`t separate the sound in a guitar to 300€ or 1000€. May be a false rumour? And it`s a real bummer that the RGA`s only have ibanez stock pickups...last year`s most expensive edition had DiMarzio, but it seems like that one has disappeared. -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself
