I have an Ibanez AS73 that are really nice guitars, but could not bond with the stock pickups. Tried a set of SD Jazz/JB that was a lot better, but still not quite what I was after. Guy on TGP was letting a set of 36's go so I decided to give them a try. They were black and creme which wasn't the right look for my guitar. I ordered some raw nickel covers and put them in. Fantastic pickups that sound perfect in this guitar. Really happy I got them....they won't be coming out.
