I feel like with mine bring 91, the ideal guitar would have to be an ibby right?

Mini review: I've played more in these last few days than I have in quite some time, so I think that pretty much says it all. It's equipped with the original J-100/J-100/J-50 set. I love the J-100 singles: exactly what I want in a Strat-style single coil. The J50 is insane. I know it's cliché to talk about a pickup's 'clarity/articulation', etc... but in all honesty, the note separation on this pickup is incredible. I have no idea why anyone would ever replace these old Jackson pickups, but of course ymmv. Amazing neck, super resonant. Such a killer guitar.
