Perceived output level: The Infinity pickups are Ibanez's midgrade pickups they put in their RG guitars. Mild-to-medium output.
Tone: Exceptionally clear for a stock pickup. INF2 (bridge) gives a suprisingly nice full-bodied tone that's great for rock, but it may give too much midrange for some players. I like it because it allows my amp to control the overall tone coloration. INF1 (neck) tone is balanced, allowing for some thick, creamy distortion. Nice to mix w/middle single-coil for cool blues tone.
Sonic evaluation: Guitar: 1996 Ibanez RG470. Amp: Fender Eighty-Five 12"solid-state combo. Preamp/processor: BOSS ME-6. Dunlop Original Crybaby wah pedal.
I use my Fender's clean channel with all EQ knobs set at 50%. I prefer to use my ME-6 for distortion and EQ. These stock pickups through a Marshall JCM sound better than stock Jacksons/Duncan Design through a Hughes & Kettner plexi. The stock Jacksons sounded hollow.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: INF1 neck, INF2 bridge, INFS1 middle. Good all-around pickups for a variety of styles, though I play mostly hard rock and alternative (Judas Priest to Nirvana to No Doubt to Queensruch). The pickups could stand to be slightly hotter for the hard stuff, and offer more sustain -- but that's probably my amp's shortcoming.

Comments: I've been playing for over 10 years, gigged a handful of times, but now I'm a woodshedder. I have (may still have) guitars from Washburn, Kramer, Harmony, and most recently, Ibanez, as well as amps/effects by Peavey, Fender, Gorilla, Digitech, and BOSS. I've compared the RG470's Infinity pickups to those in Ibanez's more expensive S540LTD, and have found the INF pu's (and the RG guitars in general) so sound better and be a better value. S Series IBZ-USA and AH pickups were too chunky-sounding.
FYI, the 1998 Ibanez RG470s come with even better humbuckers, the V7 and V8. I should have waited a year!
