Question for C-Pig users

[pagan7]

I've come across an Ibanez RGA121 Prestige for sale new at a very good price and I'm almost certainly going to buy it.
The naff sounding Ibanez V7 and V8 pups will be replaced immediately with either a set of Painkillers (which I have on a lesser Ibanez RG) or with a set of C-Pigs which I've never tried before but like the sound of.
The guitar has a mahogany body with a thin flat finish and a maple/walnut bolt on neck with an unbound rosewood board and a fixed Gibraltar III bridge.
Strings will be either a set of 11s or 12s tuned to C G C F A D and I mostly play a blend of industrial thrash and space rock. Prong meets Hawkwind kind of thing.
Questions to C-Pig users is - Will the C-Pigs be too much of a one trick pony in a slab of mahogany - leaning too much towards the bottom end ?
I love the Painkillers in my cheaper mahogany bodied RG so I was hoping for a Painkiller + sound from a better made RG with a more subtainsial and stable fixed bridge.
Will the C-Pigs deliver ?
Cheers

Yes. They're about as versatile as PKs. Better cleans, imo. Decent crunch.

P.S. Dont bet your life on a more expensive ibanez being better made. I've seen a particular 321 thats better than a particular 2570. Depends entirely on that exact guitar. You just have a better *chance* of it being better made.

I sure wouldn't bet my life on an Ibanez, but compared to the RG321MH the Painkillers are on, the RGA121 is definitely superior, especially the neck which is flatter and slicker and the Gibraltar bridge which is 5 times thicker than the rudimentary L shaped plate of the RG321. A better build all round - perhaps this one just wasn't put together on a friday afternoon with the saki bar calling   :)

Oh, you've actually played the guitar in question and KNOW its better. At least in your opinion. These things are subjective (acoustic tone at least)

Fair play then. Its a better guitar, I'll take your word for it.

(I do like those bridges, too)

to be honest i've never found yet a really BAD ibanez. but i've got a couple of great ones... i've bough exactly the same RGA121, used as well... it's the guitar i wish to put a C-bomb into these days!
mine is much better than my RG321, that's a very respectable guitar too... the only thing they've got in common is the shape, thoug... different woods, different neck and mechanics.

i MUST find a different bridge for the RG321, anyway... the damn screws keep scratching my hand and after a while it hurts, expecially if you're playing fast rhythms!

I must admit, I rather like ibanez (ibanezes?) but I can't find one with a thick enough neck. I can't stand thin necks.

Heretic! The wizard 1 is a GREAT neck. 17mm thick @1st fret. SHRED!
