Here it is one more time, Ibanez's RC320M. It's a simple guitar; a dual humbucking, bolt-on & non-whammy Ibanez which is removed from the manufacturer's very popular RG series.
The RC320M is equipped with a pair of Core Tone pickups which were not conceived to give off that likable heavy tone or that sleek shred legato but they can give you a good, rocking ACDC crunch. If you push them any further with drive or distortion, they would muck up in both positions. This is the reason why I have a pair of Duncan's Distortion pickups in there. In addition to hard hitting heaviness, I need something to propel clarity as well & that's what the Distortions do well- deliver clarity, especially single notes. In the mean time, I'm still messing with pickup height to hear how this affects sustain more than tone refinements per se.
