new guitar - pickups help would be great, eifion

i just got a new guitar, an ibanez rg5ex1. well, it's used. but it's like new and i got it from the pawn shop for five hundred dollars below the actual price so yay.

anyway

i want to replace the stock INF pickups with some duncans, but i'm not sure what combo i would want. i'm looking for a hot sound with a lot of bite (think megadeth) but really clear notes for shred (think paul gilbert).

duncans definetly arent the right ones for that.

Seymour Duncan for the bridge would do for the Megadeth riffage... and DiMarzio for the neck.

Specifically, Seymour Duncan PATB-2, and DiMarzio DP158FBK.

Shop around.

Edit: Cheapest I can find for the Duncan is £75. DiMarzio is £78.

$308.60 for you.

Er, unlucky.
