Born from two years of relentless development alongside guitar virtuoso Steve Vai, the Evolution® Neck and Bridge humbuckers represent DiMarzio’s most aggressive pickup design to date. These aren’t your typical polite-sounding humbuckers – they’re built for players who demand maximum impact and power from their Ibanez® Jems and other high-performance guitars.
The neck pickup brings fat, punchy tones with serious output, while the bridge model takes things further with tight, aggressive response and even more volume on tap. Both feature DiMarzio’s patented dual-resonance configuration, which captures more harmonic overtones than conventional humbuckers, giving your sound incredible richness and complexity.
Originally conceived for live performance where cutting through the mix is crucial, these pickups have proven equally impressive in the studio. Their exceptional presence and definition means they slice through even the densest arrangements with clarity. Fair warning though – the Evolution® series isn’t for beginners. You’ll need solid playing technique and a quality amplifier to handle their intensity, but when matched correctly, your sound will absolutely burn.
