Ibanez AG75 upgrades

Anandbhat · #1 09-14-2011, 09:09 PM

Traded in my Ibanez AS73 for an AG75 last week.Love the smaller body (easier on my shoulders) and hollowbody sound. Took the Lollar CC pick up off the AS73 before I traded it in and am thinking of replacing the neck pup on the Ag75 with it. Any thoughts? Could it make feedback issues worse?
Also,any other upgrades worth considering?
Thanks.

I'm sure the Lollar CC is a perfect match for your AG75. I've put one in my AK105 and I couldn't be happier.

I had a AG75 and replaced the neck pup with a gibson classic 57 and got a sweet fat tone, you can checkout my myspace to hear what it sounded like (all the recordings there were done with that guitar)

Thanks guys.
Great playing and tone,Uri. What were your settings on the tone knob and what amp did you use?

For the price of a Classic 57 I would check Bare Knuckles, Lolar, Fralin, etc... I put a Classic 57 once in my archtop and later put a Bare Knuckles and the difference is HUGE. And it only costed 30€ more.

Done Deal! The Lollar CC neck pup which was on the AS73 is now on the AG75. Takes the tone to a whole different level.The clarity and sustain are awesome and I like this combination a lot.It's a keeper!
Thanks again for the responses.
