Dimarzio DP165 The Breed

If you've seen Steve Vai perform in the last few years, you may have seen him playing a Jem guitar with the word Pogo taped on the face. Steve wanted one of his instruments to have a fat, classic humbucker sound to contrast with the hotter, screaming Evolution®-equipped guitars. This is the pickup DiMarzio developed for him.

The Breed was designed to warm up and smooth out the sound of 25½ scale trem guitars. It's got a lot more power than a PAF®, but it also has a finer 'touch' than high-output models. Picking hard will generate a lot of voltage, but a softer attack will clean up the sound of an overdriven amp.  This is the Neck pickup.
PLEASE SPECIFY 'STANDARD' OR 'F' SPACING IN THE 'OTHER INFO' BOX.
