Nice playing man. I'm impressed how good the SD sounds clean.

Mr. Scary and Black Diamond, awesome! Pickups sound great!

4:03 okay the way you did Black Diamond there is absolutely amazing. Just something about that nearly clean dimarzio and the guitar tuned down a quarter step just gives me a strange nostalgic-like feeling idk what it is but I love it. Awesome job man!

Man, loved the super distortion sound

Excellent song choices

Nice playing, pick ups are fantastic

Surprisingly good cleans

Good job, mate, rock on!

As I didn't have enough money to spend on dimarzios or Seymour Duncans, I tought in give ir a try to the Wilkinsons pickups. I play funk/rock, so I decided to change the stock ones for wilkinsons zebra in the neck and Bridge, and wilkinson vintage at the middle position. The results were amazing!!! For less than US100 I changed all the picks, and Im really happy with the result, a thing to consider is to buy the picks made in Korea, not the chinese ones. If You don't want to bust your bank, there are plenty economic options, just search for them. Greetings from Chile!!!!!

Thanks brah !! I'm going to be swapping the bridge (EDGE III) for an original EDGE soon, so i'll me making a before and after video of that. Great taste for recognising them haha

Thank you for this video this was SUPER Helpful. Question. What pick up are you using for your middle pick up (single coil)? I currently have a GRX70 which is basically the budget version of your guitar in the RG range. I absolutely love playing it but the pickups (Infinity R) are shockingly bad and I am going to swap them out for the same configuration as you. Love that you went for the Super Distortion rather then the usual paring of Tone Zone. Personally i think this has a better tone for the bridge pick up as the Tone Zone seems a little to bright. Was just interested about the single coil for the full set. Was considering maybe the True Velvet. Would appreciate your thoughts?

Nice playing! I was on the fence between this pair of pups and the Tone Zone/Classic Air for my next guitar (2018 Ibanez Genesis RG550), but your video helped me decide on the Super Distortion & Air Norton. Based on the videos I've seen, I'm starting to like the Super Distortion as much as the Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB, which I have in a Gibson LP and a cheaper Ibanez.

@waynebush7953

I saw a head to head with the Super Distortion and the JB in the same guitar, same settings, same riffs and they are very, very similar. Both are great pickups. JB is probably very slightly brighter, cleaner and the Super D is a little fatter warmer, but just barely in both cases. Very, very similar.

4:02 Black Diamond - KISS - very cool! cheers..

Have you had difficulty setting up the intonation? mine sounds a bit sharp on the higher frets especially on the lower strings

If you love the sound of a Super Distortion® in the bridge and you like hot neck pickups too, try a Super 2™. The Super 2™ takes the classic Super Distortion® sound and slides the EQ up in favor of the high-end, so its brighter top and lighter bottom work to balance out the darker, overtone heavy information up by the fingerboard. The Super 2™ is just the pickup to clean up the overdrive sound of a mud-heavy 24¾’’ scale, two-humbucker guitar or to add snap to a dark sounding 25½” bolt-on. It works great in the bridge or the neck.. that's according to DiMarzio themselves.

Great demo. I was thinking to upgrade my MIM Strat's pickups. That super distortion sounds so PRETTY which I'm gonna install and (maybe) I'll install SD hot rails as the neck pickup, but should I install single coil sized humbucker or should I install normal sized humbucker? Also what is the middle single coil pickup in the video? I don't know what to have as a middle position. I was thinking of having standard or noiseless single coil, but will it "bottleneck" the middle pickup if I also install 500k pots? Sorry if I'm confusing, but nice video again!

Not confusing, I think I understand what your saying. The single coil in the middle position is the stock ISF3 (i think its called) but I honestly never use it, so i cant really help you out on that pickup sorry. If you get a full size humbucker (which i prefer) you will need to buy a different pickguard to accomodate for it, presuming you using a 3 single coil configuration. Im not to sure about the 500k pots as I have no experience comparing it to standard 250k, but hope that helps.

+Saad DX If its your first electric guitar i wouldnt worry about which bridge is better. Ive had my RG (with the Edge III) for exactly 6 years now and it stays in tune perfectly like its brand new, nothing wrong with the tuning. This RG was my second guitar, so in your case its a really good first guitar to have and i wouldnt even worry about the bridge. Im not very familiar with the 470 but the only difference would probably be the pickups.... Which shouldn't matter cause you can just change them. Either guitar you choose, 470 or 370 is gonna be a very very good first guitar. Both amazing guitars and very shred capable You might want to keep in mind tuning will be an issue (im guessing your gonna be experimenting with different tunings with this being your first guitar) as both these guitars have a locking tremolo (edge bridges) which means its good for keeping in tune, but changing tunings, such as going from standard to Eb or drop D, is a nightmare.... A fixed bridge is ideal for that, not an edge (floating tremolo) ....but if your not bothered about tunings dont worry about it The song I was playing with the Air Norton, after Mr Scary, is Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

The Super 2™ takes the classic Super Distortion® sound and slides the EQ up in favor of the high-end, so its brighter top and lighter bottom work to balance out the darker, overtone heavy information up by the fingerboard. The Super 2™ is just the pickup to clean up the overdrive sound of a mud-heavy 24¾’’ scale, two-humbucker guitar or to add snap to a dark sounding 25½” bolt-on. It works great in the bridge or the neck"

guitarist6494 I don't know if you can use a dimargio pickup in the bridge and sd in the neck or vice versa.

Lefteris Panos any combo of passive pickups such as a DiMarzio neck or duncan mixed with a DiMarzio bridge or duncan. mixed or paired will work fine . Choose your combo and find what works best for you . nothing is off limits

+13 steps 2the gallows Hey man, I maintain all my guitars myself. I only take it into the guitar tech (local music store) when I need something done that I cant do myself, like swapping out the pickups or changing the bridge. I could maybe change the bridge myself (....or maybe not its a Floyd Rose haha) but dont want to risk any damages so I pay to get it done by a pro. Sorry about your stolen guitar. I hope I've answered your question

+13 steps 2the gallows If your getting a buzz on the low strings try making the action slightly higher, thats probably it. If not you may have something caught in either your bridge or nut so give them a clean. But from what your saying it sounds like your action may be too low so try making it a little higher

what do you prefer: Seymour D. JB or DiMarzio Super distortion?

Good question.... I definitely find the SD a little hotter than the JB and overall I prefer it as a lead pickup & for soloing. I still love the JB and I find it has a bit more of an "80's Hair Metal" tone to it, especially for rhythm playing not just lead, but its great for both. This is just my opinion and both are amazing pickups. ....I will add that I've been using my Ibanez with the SD a lot recently and probably going to use in the video after the next one.

yeah, that's what I am talking about, I am going to be the Lead/Rythm guitar player of a band that sounds like 80's Sunset Stip's Rock, but my guitar doesn't sounds like that, and I wanted to search the sound of the DiMarzio Super Distortion that uses Phil Collen, and I found this video. Thank you and good luck!!

Sounds awesome man. In that case I'd strongly recommend a Charvel San Dimas. I'd been playing this RG for the past 7 years and bought a Charvel, for the 80's tone/style and couldn't believe how perfect it was for it. They come with a JB in the bridge and the alder body is far better than basswood for that style. If your using an RG with basswood, no matter which pickup you put in it, it's is not going to sound as "80's" as a guitar with Alder/Mahogany body. Again, just my opinion and going off what I have experienced lately but go with whichever you really want.
