The Vintage/ Single pickups (V & S) are a line of magnetic pickups for solid body electric guitars that are designed by DiMarzio and produced by Ibanez in Japan to the original DiMarzio specifications.
The Vintage pickups were partially replaced by the Infinity pickups on the entry-to-mid level models when production of those lines moved to Korea in 1994.
Warm yet articulate lead pickup with enhanced overtones. Good harmonics without excessive brightness. Brighter than Vintage 2, not as bright as Vintage 6
V77/V87 custom designed pickups for down tuning. These pickups are specially designed for capturing more low-end by regenerating a wider tonal range. Instead of losing the low-end, they output it with rich, harmonic tone.

Traditional sounding, yet high output single coil with Alnico 5 polepieces for even string output. Designed to work with humbuckers in the split position. Its sound is described as "tight, but bright. Very dynamic for chording and rhythm."[1]
This pickup is referred to in some Japanese catalogs as the Super8A.
