VKDT

The default pickups in this year's Ibanez RGD320 is a pair of VK-DT humbuckers. These were conceived specifically, according to the manufacturer, to manifest very acceptable detuned tones without the loss of clarity. The Alnico V magnets make sure this takes place.

I personally like these pickups, they sound close to Seymour Duncan's Full Shred unit but a little restrained when high gain/ distortion is in use, maybe Ibanez should employ ceramic instead of alnico in the magnet material. This aside, the cleans are also above average but do not expect any '59-like warmth. I'm certainly keeping them.
