so i bought an ibanez universe "green dot" and i'm pretty sure its a used 91 model as most have been telling me, but the pickups are not green like it came with standard
so i unscrewed the pick guard and to no surprise they are Dimarzios and to no surprise they are unlabeled(which i think is absolutely terrible on Dimarzios part) but i was able to see the patent number which is 4,501,185, and on the website it says that patent number is affilated with the Dimarzio blaze pickups which is great to have the info, but i ran into another problem, seems that some of the evolution 7s also have this patent number(umm what?)
so that leads me to the question how do i know if these are blaze 7's or evolution 7s? anyone know of any other labeling system Dimarzio uses, i did notice that the patent number stickers where a specific color, does that have any significance?
