Seems to be a good combination. I have a PAF Pro + Tone Zone right now, but am thinking about trying the Air Norton in place of the PAF pro.

Kevan Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 The pickups on all production Ibanez JPM-model guitars were: BRIDGE: DiMarzio Steve's Special NECK: DiMarzio Air Norton NOTE: Pickups on the production models were direct mount (screwed to the body). REFERENCE: Ibanez Catalog Spec Sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambo Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Paul gilbert uses PAF Pros. The ibanez guitars has the steves specials and air nortons. But, the air norton is in the 'wrong way round' with screw poles to the bridge. The 7 string guitars had Blaze at the bridge and air norton 7 at the neck. The current musicman sig guitars have slightly hotter versions (but noticably hotter) of these pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
