I have an Ibanez AS153. I was never happy with the pickups. They were very plain sounding and lacked character. I guess 'lackluster' would be an adequate description. I swapped them out for the Ibanez pickups used on the AS200 (3PU1J158G1 and 3PU1J158G2). The difference is HUGE! It has become my favorite guitar. Compared to the Super 58 Customs, the new ones are louder, articulate and have more bass punch. Sustain is longer and the treble strings sparkle. Pick attack becomes a whole new art form with these pickups. I'm sure things will change somewhat as I adjust pickup height and find the sweet spot, but these things are amazing.
WOW!

Hi,
Here is Scofield himself he talks about this guitar near the beginning of the interview , he is a solid guy real down to earth he speaks well here on the whole subject of the pro music world. Regards.

You know, that Scofield video might make a good OP for a separate thread. I know it's the same guitar at issue, but hearing the guy it is named after talk about it, play it, and talk about his own development, well, that's what I call "special".

Cool posts! Fun to hear Jesse Van Rueller on the Ibanez. His seems to be the made in Japan version.
I really love Jesse's playing, he's amazing!
