I own a custom made Ibanez with Floyd Rose Trem. with Ibanez pickups.(their prob. stock pickups even though the guitar is custom made). The Guitar has a maple neck and has a Koa wood body. I was thinking about getting the JB for the Bridge and the Jazz pickup in the neck with the SSL-5 Custom Staggered for the middle pickup. I play mostly Hard Rock/ Heavy Blues. I heard great things about these pickups but never actually played on them.. Any one think these are good choices.. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you...

I am in the minority here as I do not like the JB that much, not for heavy blues anyway. You would probably be better served by a set of 59's or maybe a CC/59 set if you need a little more output, the CC compresses under gain but it splits well. I do not know what you consider quot;hard rockquot; but if your amp has enough gain try some lower output pickups like Antiquities or Seths. You will get a lot of different answers from a lot of smart people, if it all leads to confusion just use the 21 day return policy until you find what you like.
