As mentioned before, the DiMarzio PAF 7s are default pickups in my Ibanez SIR27F. Initially, I was putting Ibanez down for equipping a metal-type guitar (manufacturer's claim, not mine...) with the weakest pickups in the range. As it turned out, the PAF 7s could handle everything thrown at them granted they might not be some players' cup of tea. A case of Jack of all trades, mater tones of none? Of course not, the PAF 7s are very good at the job, it's just a matter of appeal.
Well, the PAF 7's 'secret' could be the fact that the magnets on board are ceramic as opposed to the sweeter alnicos for the intended purpose but then again, what was the initial intention? It wasn't made clear by the manufacturer but the PAF 7 turned out to be a super utilitarian model. Thumbs up to that.
