I'm gonna replace the EMGs in my Washburn and put Dimarzios in (putting the EMGs in my old Ibanez). I'm not really satisfied with the really gainy sound, I want something more along the lines of a Jon Petrucci or Steve Vai tone, y'know with loads of sustain ect.

I found a place where I can get a set for £124. So I'm thinking of going for an Air Norton in the neck position and a PAF Pro in the bridge, but I understand the positioning of these could be pretty interchangable. Any suggestions on pickups/position?

I've heard that's a good combination of Dimarzio's, but i haven't tried 'em, so i can't give you any feedback.
 
Here's some pics of my Ibanez RG1570:

Someone said here on the forums that Edwards are discontinuing Esp Edwards alexi signatures. Any truth behind it? atleast ebay sellers put "limited" on the edition thing. Then again...it says fernandes as brand too but.

I just checked the text next to the sawtooth edwards and fuckin lolled when i found out the translation:lol: "Because we do not use the light gathering material for in ray of this model, or the pin striped part of the body, being the dark place, it does not shine." Getting pwnt at english :lol:
 
I was just joking about that fake Alexi sig, lol. I am definitley getting the 8 string Stephen Carpenter LTD, that thing is fucking awesome. Did you guys see that B.C. Rich is releasing a CHUCK SCHULDINER SIGNATURE STEALTH OMGOMGOMG!!!11
