Explore Sonic Depth with Steve Vai’s Dark Matter 2™ Bridge Pickup
The DiMarzio Dark Matter 2™ F-Spaced Bridge Pickup, designed in collaboration with the legendary Steve Vai, embodies a new era of high-output performance with an organic touch. Developed for the latest iteration of Steve Vai’s signature JEM guitar, this pickup delivers exceptional tone while maintaining a smooth, refined high end.
Key Features:
- Steve Vai’s Evolution: The Dark Matter 2™ Bridge Pickup is part of Steve Vai’s ongoing quest to push the boundaries of guitar tone. Engineered to complement the earthy, organic characteristics of his new JEM guitar, this pickup provides a powerful, versatile sound that supports Vai’s dynamic playing style.
- High Output with Smooth Highs: While designed to deliver high output akin to Vai’s other pickups, the Dark Matter 2™ is uniquely engineered to avoid sharp edges in the high register. This results in a tone that’s both powerful and smooth, avoiding the harshness sometimes associated with high-output pickups.
- Custom Aesthetic: The Dark Matter 2™ Bridge Pickup features a distinctive laser-cut grill with interlocking gear patterns, adding a visually striking element to your guitar’s appearance. The design enhances the pickup’s visual appeal while maintaining its sonic integrity.
- Versatile Performance: With a Ceramic magnet and a resistance of 9.19 kOhm, this pickup provides a powerful output with a rich, clear tone. It’s designed to excel in the bridge position, offering a balanced sound that’s perfect for a wide range of genres and playing styles.
- Standard Equipment on JEM Woody: The Dark Matter 2™ Bridge Pickup comes standard on the new Ibanez JEM Woody guitar, but is also available for individual purchase. This allows you to upgrade your existing guitar with the same high-quality pickup trusted by Steve Vai.
- F-Spaced Design: The pickup is available in F-spacing, making it ideal for guitars with wider string spacing. This ensures proper string alignment and consistent tonal quality across all strings, optimizing your guitar’s overall performance.
