The pickups in this revived Ibanez S370 is a pair of DiMarzio ibz humbuckers. Back in its time, it was burdened to fulfil the DiMarzio expectations but Ibanez clearly mentioned these were created in the image of a typical DiMarzio spec but not being an outright DiMarzio per se. These do not possess the smooth voicings of a DiMarzio once high octane distortion is in use. A stronger midrange response is its firm identity, inclining towards the Super Distortion. In clean mode, these are quite devoid of any PAF warmth hence its much maligned existence back then. I am totally alright with such tonal offerings, the reason I look out for them in the after-market. They give me what I want to hear.
To be concluded...
