DiMarzio DP255 Transition Humbucker Guitar Pickup

Designed by DiMarzio for Steve Lukather, the DiMarzio DP255 Transition Humbucker Guitar Pickup provides a rich, organic tone that Steve desires. This pickup is used throughout one of his records. A powerful magnet and coils tuned to slightly different frequencies create very strong fundamental tones, with sustained notes that resolve easily to first and second order harmonics. The output rating isn't extremely high, but the Transition Model puts a lot of impact into every picked note.

The passive DP255 Transition humbucker is both subtle and tough. They have power and they have depth. Steve says they're organic, and they allow him to own his sound. "These days I like it simple and direct," he shares. Steve says he's started over sonically and is into a more organic sound these days, but the Transition Model has a tough, in-your-face sound that's also perfect for shredding and technical playing.
