My 18th is coming up, and it's time to set the old stratocaster aside and get in touch with my inner metal. My favorite guitarist is Paul Waggoner from BTBAM, thus I have all 3 of his set ups he's used over the years posted below. I understand some have been discontinued, but that is not a problem because I would hunt it down on the internet. So please give me some feedback, as I am new to the world of Ibanez.

Ibanez S1625TKS w/ EMG 85/81

or

Ibanez S520 w/ EMG 85/81

or

Ibanez S2170FB

i'd keep the stock dimarzios in on any S series, especially the 2170. Being the most expensive, you do not want to ruin the way it sounds by putting actives in it. You don't want to sound exactly like 1 guitarist, so search around before putting new pups in. But, all in all, the 2170 would probably be the best on that list
