I was thinking of getting this but dont know to much about it. The seller knows nothing, they say. Maybe a Frank Gambale but I see no signature stuff on the tailstock or frets. Maybe an S540? Plus somebody installed Fender-Lace Sensor pickups, a blue in the neck, gold mid and dbl red in bridge. Any comments on those pickups in an Ibanez. I'm in the heavy metal, grunge type sounds of today and within the last ten years asnd the last thing I want is to get a fender sound. Thanks Frank

Fender Lace Sensors are horrible pickups for my (and many others') taste. I have owned every "colour" of them. No presence, no clarity, no attitude, no response, no nothing exept for the midrange that will make even an expensive amp sound small. Atleast with that colour combination. A gold or silver could work in the bridge for strat, if it will do only overdriven leads, but then again that Ibanez is no stratocaster. I would say forget it for the pickups.

But the guitar is S-series, that is right. Don't know the number though. And who knows, You might even like the pickups. I just hate them.
