Talk to me about the glorious tone of this early 80s Ibanez Blazer

Ibanez Blazer flats vs rounds comparison

I love all of this, especially when he plays the roundwounds with a pick at 2'15"

He doesn't mention what strings he's comparing - in the comments someone guesses the rounds to be Rotosound 66s. 

What is it about those Japanese split pickups which give them such a clean punchy tone? 

And what else is making a significant contribution to that tone?

DiMarzio PAF pickups

Thank you, that's a helpful bit of info I didn't know about. Did Ibanez use them a lot late 70s / early 80s? And is there anything specific about their construction that contributes to the punchy tone?

When I googled them, one result was you withdrawing a pair of them from being on sale recently!
