DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion Pickup, F-Space

Many of the classic rock sounds of the '70s and '80s came from this pickup. It's been integral to the sound of DiMeola, Gambale, Vinnie Moore, and Frehley.

DiMarzio DP101 Dual Sound Bridge Pickup

DiMarzio DP102 X2N Pickup

DiMarzio's highest gain pickup, designed to push tube amps into total overdrive. Twin wide-bar pole pieces give the X2N pickup a nasty, dangerous look.

DiMarzio DP151 PAF Pro Pickup

The PAF Pro makes an outstanding neck pickup in almost any guitar, and it's an exceptional bridge pickup when high output isn't required.

DiMarzio DP152 Super 3 Guitar Pickup

Primarily a bridge position pickup designed for solidbody guitars, it's similar to the Super Distortion with more midrange grind and a chopped treble.

DiMarzio DP153 FRED Pickup

DiMarzio FRED humbuckers are like the PAF Pro with more gain, mid EQ, and overtones, very responsive to picking so you can pick harder to shift from crunch to overdrive. Great for combined lead/rhythm players.

DiMarzio DP153F Fred Guitar Pickup F-Spaced Black

Dual coil guitar pickup. Output: 305 millivolts. DC Resistance: 10.07K.

DiMarzio DP158 Evolution Neck Pickup

Created for Steve Vai's Ibanez Jems, it can add a lot of punch to Les Pauls and similar set-neck guitars. Makes the lowest notes jump out of the amp, and feedback occurs easily with a wide range of harmonic overtones.

DiMarzio DP159 Evolution Bridge Pickup

Perfect for solos that really cut through. Low notes are very tight, and the highs have a lot of presence. DiMarzio designed the DP159 pickup for Steve's Ibanez Jems, but it can add a lot of punch and definition to Les Pauls and similar set-neck guitars - even the lowest bass notes really jump out of the amp, and feedback occurs easily with a wide range of harmonic overtones.

DiMarzio DP161 Steve's Special Guitar Pickup

Most hot humbuckers concentrate the pickup's power in a narrow frequency range for maximum impact. The Dimarzio Special spreads the sound over a broader range so bass and treble tones are boosted and midrange is lowered.

DiMarzio DP165 The Breed Neck Pickup

DiMarzio created the Breed Neck Pickup in response to a request from Steve Vai for a fat, classic humbucker sound to contrast with the hotter, screaming Evolution-equipped guitars. The neck pickup is a bit louder and fatter-sounding than the PAF Pro pickups that Steve used on his earliest Jem guitars.

DiMarzio DP166 The Breed Bridge Pickup

The Breed bridge pickup is not as hot as the Evolution, but it's got a warm and punchy mid-range coupled with a fat low end that rolls off before it can get muddy.

DiMarzio DP190 Air Classic Neck Pickup

DiMarzio set out to make a pickup with the sound of the late 1950s humbuckers without simply imitating them with Alnico 2 or aged Alnico 5 magnets.

DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup

It's fat and warm, yet not muddy. It's hot, but not distorted. It's even got cool harmonics. The patent-applied-for magnetic structure reduces string-pull, so sustain is improved, and pick attack and dynamics are tremendously controllable and expressive.

DiMarzio DP200 Steve Morse Pickup Bridge

DiMarzio puts his name on the DP200 Steve Morse Pickup and it's just what you need to generate his sound. Very clean, very articulate pickup.

DiMarzio DP207 Drop Sonic Pickup

A high-output bridge humbucker designed for the extended low end and heavy chords that dropped tuning delivers, plus serious treble response for single-note solos and standard tuning.

DiMarzio DP211/DP212 EJ Custom F-Spaced Pickup Black & Creme Bridge

After getting a new 1959 Les Paul reissue, Eric Johnson asked DiMarzio if it could be made to sound like an old Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar, and DiMarzio said, "No problem!"

DiMarzio DP213 PAF Joe Satriani Pickup

Joe wanted a neck position humbucker that combined the best qualities of the DiMarzio PAF Pro with those of a late '50s Gibson humbucker.

DiMarzio DP215 Evo 2 Bridge Pickup

The original Evolution bridge guitar pickup did exactly what Steve Vai wanted it to do: kick butt and produce serious scream. The Evo 2 DP215 bridge pickup was designed to be more complex - the same basic tone with increased headroom and dynamics, so that the sound kills on 10 and cleans up when the volume is rolled down.

DiMarzio DP216 Mo' Joe Bridge Pickup

The name says it all. It has more power than the Fred, but it doesn't sacrifice clarity or dynamics. Additionally, all the harmonics that made the Fred guitar pickup so good are all there, ready to jump out at the touch of a guitar pick.

DiMarzio PAF DP103 Guitar Pickup

It has a smooth, almost voice-like quality and that intangible swell to the notes after attack. It possesses vintage output and breathes freely with an open, warm character.
