Ibanez INF3 and INF4 Infinity

These come on the NEW RG-120. Stock pick-ups. They are double poles on each pick-up and both rows are active. Like the DiMarzio PAF-PROs. Matter of fact these are designed by DiMarzio for Ibanez to be PAF-PRO copys. You know what I like the BETTER. I had this RG come in my shop and I bought is used but like new. I didn't think much of though I loved the WHITE body Black hardware. But thught it was a cheap RG. Anyway I set it up [BTW I play a MIJ Prestige 2570] This guitar has a neck, fret-work and action VERY similiar to my Priestige. Its that Nice. the pups sounded good through a practice amp at my shop. I took it Home and played it through a Fender Twin 67 and a VOX AC-30 TBRI. These pick-ups are AWESOME they are clear and articulate. Harmonics just jump off the fretboard. The bass and mds are nice and tight and the Highs are well balanced and detailed. These are AMAZING pick-ups through a Good Amp decent through a cheap practice!!!

Don't pass these by. You like pups with great output not muddy and with GREAT HARMNICS? These are your ticket!!

Fantastic. I was gonna sell this guitar **** it plays as good as and sounds BETTER than my Prestige. Must be kidding me. I'd be a FOOL to sell these!

First, i play mainly heavy metal, '80s type of sound, and a lot of clean stuff. I use this RG at home on all-digital solution featuring processor, EM-U soundcard, and plethora of VSTs on the other side. In garage it's processor -> direct injection via soundboard to monitors, and i have tried it on 50, 70, and 100W Marshall heads, and on some vintage Trace Elliot.

In all configurations, these pickups are great. Just a bit of everything to make a great mix - lows keep pumping, highs cut through like a blade and the mids keep the power. And they don't change sound when you lower or raise them, so you can keep the one above another to get the nice power boost / power lower when switching between them.

On my all-digital solution, i can reproduce any sound. Of course, nitpickers and pro's will notice the difference between analog and digital processing, but it's not the INF to blame. INFs handle all jobs very good. Connected to classic amp, you get that in-your-face metal sound on high-gained channel, but not the muddy overdistorted type. There is no noise, just pure sound. That vintage Trace Elliot revealed a clean side of this pup's, which is...excellent!

I don't play "alternative" where you need crunchy sound, or some hardcore, death metal, etc, so i can't talk about that, but for rock and traditional heavy metal these pickups are great.

I gave them a rating of 9, because they're pretty cheap, stock stuff, and they have excellent sound. If you're playing rock/metal, they'll assist you greatly on finding "your sound", but when you found it, switch to DiMarzio Super Distortion / PAF Pro or any similar combination, that'll perfect your sound even more.

I have been playing on this particular guitar with this particular pickups for 10 years. They have been great throughout the years on all equipment i used or just tested them on.

I am changing them soon, because i'll upgrade all mechanics and electronics on this RG (putting schaller tuners, pots, switch, pup housings, original Floyd Rose, DiMarzio SD+PAF Pro together with Roland GK-KIT-GT3). However, i'll keep them in storage, and if anything happened to them, i'd get a used par from eBay instantly. These are great pups to be used as cheap backup, even for a pro musician. You could install them in a low-end nonbrand guitar to make it scream a bit.
