David Gilmour actually uses a set of EMG single coils too. They're excellent blues pickups. I don't like their humbuckers much though.

As for the ibanez stuff...they actually make some EXCELLENT classic rock guitars. Its just that, as you and I both know very well apparently, they carved out a niche for themselves as a rock and metal player and have stayed in that vein for the bulk of their lines. They're very versatile instruments even in that range, but the semi-hollows they make are fantastic.

This one for example, I would love to own, although the cocobolo topped version they were producing last year looked better to me. Ibanez :: Hollow Guitars :: AJD91

Its an EXCELLENT compromise between classic sensibility and modern advancement. Classic tonal structure and fixed bridge, classic style pickups etc. But in a better shape with a quick tune tailpiece, etc.
