| There are probably answers to this in the "Pickups/Electronics/General Tech section, so take a look and odds are you'll find your answers without much trouble.
That said, I don't know much about Ibanez trems, but adding in EMG 707s or Blackouts would require some routing. In the case of the EMGs or Phase II Blackouts (the big square ones) you'd have to rout out for depth as well as the sides of the pickups, as they're a little wider on the corners than the stock passive pickups.
If you go with Phase I Blackouts (my own personal recommendation...) you will either have to shim the neck or route out the pickup holes to a greater depth, as well as widen the ears and stuff. The pots would have to be swapped to 25kohm pots, and a stereo jack with battery clip would have to be added.
Why not sell it and buy something more in line with what you're looking for? |
