Noob-like generalization?

budda · 02-17-2008, 06:31 AM

So i've noticed something. most of the guys who buy dimarzio's put them in ibby's. the SD guys put them in everything else.

would it be fair to say that dimarzio pickups are aimed at superstrat basswood guitars as far as buckers go?

Zepp88 · 02-17-2008, 06:34 AM

It's known that Duncans don't complement basswood as well as DiMarizos do.

budda · 02-17-2008, 06:40 AM

that's pretty much what i was getting at. thanks mike

Zepp88 · 02-17-2008, 06:42 AM

But, with the advent of the Blackouts this may have changed.

Any body try it yet?

budda · 02-17-2008, 07:14 AM

im curious as well.

i have GAS to either A8 my JB/59, or get the Custom/Jazz for the blackjack. the amp is set up great, now it's a question of tweakign the guitar lol. still cant afford a setup..

i was going to post a thread about A8 vs A5 but w/e

Seymour Duncan pickups require modification of the pickup and of the pickup route to install, while Dimarzios are almost always a drop in replacement.

Blackouts will be in soon

budda · 02-17-2008, 03:25 PM

thanks for the info stitch

Dimarzios for a long time have really been sorta associated with ibanez (and occasionally prs, through Santana and Di Meola, as well as gibson and fender)

Duncans have been getting slapped into charvels and jacksons and other american metal/shred guitars for ages.

The Japanese companies also, tend to go for dimarzio, while shreddier american companies favor duncan.

as was said, not sure on blackouts really, but for most, duncans just dont really sit too well tonally in basswood, while alot of dimarzio pups were designed for artists who ate drank and breathed basswood axes

and theres that whole duncans are fucking huge thing

budda · 02-17-2008, 07:11 PM

I havent recieved my JB/59 for my tokai yet

so i dunno how big the pickups are.

i kinda want to take the pickups out of the tokai to make sure they are stock, but i have no experience and very limited knowledge about pickup swaps. last time i soldered was 6 years ago? and i dont have a multimeter.

I'm a duncan kinda guy, cuz im a mahogany kinda guy.

debating going whole hog and BKP'ing at least the bridge of the C7..or i should wait till i get a custom guitar hahahahaha
