Just a notice...

You don't get Zakk Wylde sounds off the Ibanez even if you were using EMG's. I have a DiMarzio Evolution (Steve Vai) set (DP158 & DP159)in my Ibanez RG770 and boy does that SCREAM!!! Good combination in allaround use. They're really versatile though they lack a little on the bass side. In general I like more DiMarzios than SD's. I liked the SD trembucker though when I tried it on Tom Anderson but then again it was a Tom Anderson. What comes to Zakk's sound you would need a mahogany bodied guitar or at least a set-neck (preferably both) to take away the snappy sound that
a bolt-on has. Just my two cents....
Thanks
