The Pickup Place / Re: DiMarzio Twang King / Area T / Virtual T

Thank you for a swift and professional reply!

I understand the intricacy of Twang King's tone then.

When I tried to juxtapose the size of a typical strat pickup to my 'neck' pickup space it seemed that it is either too big or it would fit if you tried really hard and thus I am confused about what to do in this case.

I have already ordered and received the Tone Zone the sound of which I simply love, so I would like to find the best possible (noiseless if possible) alternative to fit in the guitar.

Area T seemed a nice solution, but its accessibility in my country is very, very low.

Are there any other suggestions you, or anyone else, could share me with so that I could check those.

The Pickup Place / DiMarzio Twang King / Area T / Virtual T

Hi there,

I am new to the forum and you have probably discussed the topic already yet I hope that my question will add something to the discussion.

So, I am currently using Ibanez FR365 (Tone Core pickups) which I seek to replace with DiMarzio pickups (Tone Zone for the bridge) but I have a problem with choosing the right neck pickup for the guitar.

I have been considering Twang King, Area T or Virtual T pickups for that, however, I have some questions concerning the pickups.

First of all, is Twang King a noiseless pickup? If not, what do you do to reduce the noise of the pickup?
Secondly, are there any other 'single coil' type pickups which could be used in Ibanez FR365 guitar? "Humbucking" pickups included.

I seek to have a punchy tone when it comes to my playing, I really like 'fenderesque' style, clean, twang tones, but I often play some modern stuff in which just a shade of the aforementioned sound should be added.

Could you help me with this one, please?

I am sorry for my English - I am not a native speaker of the language. 

Thank you in advance for all the responses!
