Originally posted by SBlack The V7 and V8 do not match the quality of the Japanese Ibanez RGs. They are low quality pickups. The older V1 and V2s were far better in the tone department. Even better were the QM1 and QM2 prestige pickups -- they were incredible pickups.
+1 I've got a set of stock Ibanez pups in my old 1985 proline that aren't going anywhere. They are great sounding pups.
