Ibanez RG421HPFM Feedback Issue

[Charvel1975]

Hey, I've owned the new Ibanez RG421HPFM for over a month now, but I've been having a weird feedback problem. If I crank the volume on my amp to around 3, I get feedback that I haven't got from my other guitars, its an annoying hum and a high screech feedback

Has the factory pickups: DiMarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone pickups, 3-way pickup and coil tap switch. I'm using a EVH 5150 III 50 Watt head with a Marshall 1960A and a simple pedalboard. The feedback is present whenever I'm not playing the strings, and only at high volumes. Its really annoying when jamming because I have to turn up loud to be able to hear myself over the drums, and when playing shows its annoying because during pauses all you can hear is that feedback. I'm wondering whether or not it could be because of poor wiring, or if its just the pickups? If anyone has experience with wiring, pickups (these ones in particular preferably) or eliminating feedback, any theories/suggestions would be great.

I had a Ibanez prestige custom bout 10 years back. Same setup you got in your guitar. Same squealing feedback. Could not control it. Guitar was nice. But couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. Thought of swapping pickups but had too many other guitars at the time so down the road it went.

***Update*** Well I had to wind up returning the guitar to Sweetwater, was having bad issues with high action even after I paid Sweetwater to do the setup and had high pitch feedback; The feedback and noise was present whenever I was not playing the strings, it was completely unplayable because of this.
