Hi. Thank you for your input. I have been checking out clips online, and after deciding that the illuminator is likely not the choice for this specific project (a little too high output for me), i decided to spring and order the air norton. My logic to go with the AN is the fact that I read that it is brighter than the liquid fire and because it is going in a darker wood like mahogany, the extra brightness may compensate and make it sound a little darker like the liquid fire. I have a friend who has both and in his guitars, they get a similar sound to what i want (the different type of wood in my guitar is what concerns me.) For now, with this being a 7 string guitar, options are a little more limited.


I think that my next axe will likely be a 6 string RG and i'm gonna load the dmt (as you suggested). I will try to keep you updated with how i feel about my choice. I don't want you to think i don't respect your opinion - because i do. I've kind of decided i'm going to have to settle for something that may be different than was i initially going for, given the mahogany and 7str situation. I'll let u know my thoughts. Thanks again.

Btw, running an ibanez sm7 distortion into a slight delay into a hall of fame reverb into a marshall class5 as a practice rig. And logic pluggins as my recording rig.

Hi. Thank you for responding. I have considered that model but unfortunately i'm running on a 7 string and i do not think that they make it in a 7 string version.

Hi. I have an ibanez S5527QFX. The stock pickups do not come close to getting the sound i'm after.

It is a 7 string guitar, made of mahogany. I want to have this guitar get a similar tone to michael angelo batio (love or hate - that IS what i am after in this guitar.)

I have read that the dimarzio air norton will deliver what i'm looking for in a basswood guitar but would be muddier in mahogany. Is there a pickup that would better accomodate my guitars mahogany nature? Would a liquid fire accomodate better? Something else?

Ideas?


For those unfamilar, this is the hot/round type of tone i am after:
