ive been thinkin lately that instead of muyin a new guitar i was just gonna customize my current guitar. i wanna use it mainly for rock, so i was thinkin of gettin 2 seymour duncan sh-6 distortion humbuckers, a buzzfeiten tunin system, and a floyd rose tremolo, but i think i already have one. i have a ibanez x-series, and the bridge looks like a floyd rose. however the tremolo doesnt work. does any one have any tips for me?

try to lift up the back of the bridge... if it doesnt budge its not a floyd rose. floyd roses also usually have that written on them somewhere.
cant really comment on the pickups but i think on the duncan website they have a section where you can listen to the pickups in use

go to active pickups, whether EMG or something else (or just go with emg, they rule!). its the best thing you can do for yourself. once you change to them you will never go back

well i want this guitar to be more for rock and strumming not for so much picking, since im gonna get a jazzmaster for that. so i want humbuckers. and my friend who has the set i told you guys about said they worked really well. ive never heard emg before so i dont know

Don't get two of the same pickups, you're limiting yourself. Get one of the Seymour Duncan pickups you mentioned if you like the tone. Then, go to the seymour duncan website and listen to the soundclips. The pearly gates and the alnico-pro II's are amazing.

Seymour duncan alnico pro II's are great and u can listen to the pickups on the site + floyd rose tremolo, It tells u on it if its one But there are many copies of floyd rose cause the complany let people use the name or something so the genuine floyd rose tremolo's are from germany I read that somewhere
