Born from two years of intensive development alongside guitar virtuoso Steve Vai, the Evolution® Neck and Bridge humbuckers represent the pinnacle of high-output pickup design for the most discerning players. These pickups were specifically engineered to meet the exacting standards required for Vai's legendary Ibanez® Jem guitars, resulting in a pair of transducers that prioritise maximum impact and raw power above all else.
The neck position Evolution® offers a fat, punchy character with impressive output levels, while the bridge pickup takes aggression to new heights with its tight response and even greater volume potential. Both models feature DiMarzio's patented dual-resonance configuration, a design innovation that captures significantly more harmonic overtones compared to traditional humbucking pickups.
Make no mistake - Evolution® pickups are decidedly unrefined in their approach and demand both skilled playing technique and a capable amplifier to truly shine. Originally conceived for live performance applications, these pickups possess such remarkable presence and definition that they excel equally in recording environments, cutting through the densest mix with surgical precision.
