One thing about Ibanez'- I find all their pickups pretty weak- but they sure feel real good, and the RG series look pretty.

I have an RG570 and it's awesome. Slim, fast neck, but you're right. The Pups are kind of weak. I havent' changed mine yet, but I may someday.

I don't think you can go wrong with an RG.
