I was going to suggest the exact same guitar. Our local shop has them in the yellow like yours and also that wild ass hot pink/red and they are sweet! I'm not even a guitar player but I love me some Ibanez!

Well my intuition was correct and the bridge J pickup arrived today! Installed with only minor dremeling to the cavity where the mounting "ears" of the pickup reside. How does it sound? Amazing. Drastic improvement over the stock setup. It really sounds like a totally different animal now that...
