Ibanez SC-420
« on: December 30, 2015, 04:38:55 AM »
Anyone familiar with this model of guitar?  My cousin has one but is not pleased with the sound.

His taste would C-bomb / Miracle Man territory I would think.  Loves Slayer etc

I found this video with Di Marzios too

Any recommendations?  From what I can tell it is mahogany body, rosewood board, maple bolt-on neck, gotoh hardware (wraptail), MIJ
BLACK HAWKS
IMPULSES
COBRA-T
WAR PIGS
STOCKHOLM
COLD SWEATS
MIRACLE MAN
TRUE GRIT

The Ibanez stockpickups are usually nothing to rave about, so any ceramic BKP will be an improvement.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

Yeah I am thinking either Painkiller or C-Bomb set would suit him best

Ibanez stocks are the worst I have had to date. Mushy mess galore. Thus I second the idea of C-bomb or Painkiller, gravitating towards the later. Deadly, deadly chugs and insane tracking. Will be night and day compared to the stock...heck night and day does not do it justice.
BKPs in use: 10th set / RY set / Holy Diver b, Emerald n / Crawler bridge, Slowhand mid MQ neck/ Manhattan n
On the sidelines: Stockholm b / Suppermassive n, Mule n, AM set, IT mid
