We gave these pickups a try when they first came out, and they have been an "underground" favorite in our shop for a year or so. Really a great tone machine. (DiMarzio Catalog) "Although Eric Johnson is best known as a Strat player, he has always played humbucker-equipped guitars as well. After getting a new 1959 Les Paul re-issue, Eric asked us if it could be made to sound like an old Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar, and we said, "No problem!" The pickups we designed are exact replacements for standard, full size humbuckers. They are bright with great presence without sounding thin. When Eric tried them, he said they were almost as clear-sounding as Strat pickups, and he was surprised at how well they sounded with heavy distortion, because no matter how overdriven the sound, it did not become muddy. The EJ Custom™ is available with exposed coils in all standard DiMarzio® colors and plated or unplated nickel covers at additional cost. Recommended For: All positions, solid, semi-solid and hollow-body electric guitars. Tech Talk: If you look at the DC Resistance specs for these pickups, you will see they're very similar to PAF®-style models. However, their performance is very different in two important areas. They have less power and much more treble response than "vintage" humbuckers. In fact, treble response is comparable to that of typical single-coils, but since bass response is still very solid, the EJ Custom™ isn't thin-sounding. It's outstanding for chords and fingerpicking, and has exceptional definition for soloing, even with extreme amounts of distortion." alnico 5 magnet 7.85k bridge 7.01k neck 4 conductor |
