Pick Up For Ash Bodied Ibanez

[jeff5]

I have an Ibanez with an ash body and maple/walnut neck. (This model in white https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/RG652AHM) LOVE the guitar. It has the stock Tone Zone and Air Norton and while I like the Tone Zone (not a bad pick up AT all) I feel that it is a bit lacking in the aggressiveness for my taste. I play a ton of hard rock and metal.

I've tried many pick ups, my current favorites are the PRS Tremonti and the Motor City Afwayu, both of which I may try in this guitar. But I'm interested in other recommendations, particularly DiMarzio. I've also heard the BKP Warpig (ceramic version I think) is great in Ash guitars.

Thoughts, opinions? Thanks!

I just put a PK in an ash bodied maple caped Mayo and it kills. If you want aggressive, that'll do it.

edit: The DD was equally as good in that same guitar. Very aggressive while slightly less articulate than the PK due to the added compression. That can be good or bad depending on the amp.

I like crunch lab and liquifire in place of a TZ/AN.
