Hey!
I know that there are lots of threads dealing with the 7-string-PU question.
But this is quite different.

I have two Ibanez basswood bodied RG7s. Both sound totally different when played unplugged.
I discussed the basswood-qualtity-thing a lot and I am sure both are great qualtity basswood bodies, with totally different timbre.
My Universe has a loud, middy tone (very light basswood) and my RG 7621 has a well defined sound with lots of attack and brilliance (heavy basswood).

The UV now has installed Blaze neck and D-Sonic 7 and the RG 7621 still has the stock PU's installed.

I'd love to have one guitar with D-Sonic7 and Air Norton7 and the other with Blaze bridge + neck.

The Blazes have a scooped midrange, so I am asking my self what combination will be best in what guitar.
As mentioned, the UV alread is louder and has a warm tone. Should I therefore use the Blazes, to reduce the mids or should I use the D-Sonic7 and the AN7 to emphasize these mids?

I know - best way would be to install the PUs and then exchange them and see which result would be the best - BUT my RG 7621 will be equipped with green DiMarzios, so I cannot simply change the PUs...

I'd say the difference in sound would not be to do with the wood but rather the construction of the guitars themselves.

The UV has a trem and a front routed body. This would make the tone warmer and technically make it slightly "acoustic" and make it lighter.

Th RG7621 isn't routed at all except for the cavities. It also has a fixed bridge which would make the attack snappier and give it more sustain.

I'd recommend changing the pickups around. I know the DS7 works equally well with both the AN7 and the Blaze Neck.

I've never used the Blaze Bridge except on a UV in a shop and I have to say my Blaze Custom slays it for just about everything. But don't take my word for it.
