I've recently bought an rg7421. I absolutely love the guitar with the only exception being the pickups (same goes for all my Ibanez guitars). As I've really grown attached to the seven I felt I'd really like to unload to make this guitar go to it's full potential. No better place to ask about pickup recommendations than here I would say (well I have a faily vast amount of knowledge when it comes to Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan, etc.) but I'm quite dissastisfied with the sound of Dimarzios seven strings.
I use a Peavey Windsor as my main amplifer (stack version). I have the resonance knob fairly high up so it's quite a bit darker than a JCM 800 but still no where near as dark as say your high gain mesa. Tone wise I like plenty of mids but not overly bright. Somewhere between a Swineshead Warthog and Swineshead Venom. I really need to retain clarity with lots of overdrive as I use a lot of diads in my rthym playing. I primarily play metal. I typically play very fast so again I need something that has plenty of clarity. As of right now I'm between Painkiller and Miracle man based on description on the site.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
