okay well im kind of confused on what to do... i think that im ready for some better equipment. i have an ibanez rg120 and its a decent guitar, but pretty cheap and i want something that sounds a little better. i was considering buying a schecter c1 plus, and im set on it because of its cheap price and awesome tone, but i dont know if it would sound better if i replaced my pickups on my ibanez. im also on a tight budget, so i was wondering if i should just buy the schecter or replace the pickups on my ibanez, and if so, which pickups would be a good choice (i play a lot of thrice/killswitch engage style stuff).

thanks for your help :D
