Rating And Reviews: DiMarzio Evolution 7

Bass strings have a lot of clean power. High strings cut through without sounding thin.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Prior to installing this, I was constantly having to add extra presence from my pre amp and power amp. The sound of the evo 7 has definition while still managing to stay warm. I use it in the bridge of an RG7620 with a low A string. Chords involving all seven strings(even the really close voicings) come through with clarity ang mix really well with other instruments. Feature: The 4 coil wiring makes this really flexible. I use it on a 5 way switch with another humbucker with coil splitting. There are tones similar to strats and tele's which make my tone choices extremely versatile. Quality: It's a magnet, it's black and the pole pieces are shiny. Value: I think that this pick-up is a good alternative to an EMG 7 string pick-up. No routing required.I don't know if Seymour Duncan makes a similar pick-up. Manufacturer Support: The website was really helpful about wiring diagrams etc. I haven't had a problem yet. The Wow Factor: It's very goth, but really it was a practical purchase to utilize all of the strings on my guitar without having to use different amp settings for each part of the neck. Overall: I would buy this again if I had to, but I'm always curious about new developments. Basically I bought this because of Steve Vai. It doesn't make me sound like Vai, and thats why I like it so much. I still sound like me, my pronounciation is just better.

Sound: This pickup has been installed into my RG7321 and makes a world of difference. No, it doesn't make your guitar instantly a $2000 guitar, but it does make everything even, clear and louder. A great pickup to shape your own guitar tone with. Feature: It's a pickup. Comes with a box. Ease of Use: It's a pickup. You install it and play. Pretty cut and dry. Quality: They are known for making great pickups. That will never change. Value: Worth $70 easily. Manufacturer Support: NA The Wow Factor: If you want a non-EMG for your 7-String, Dimarzio til death. They make a great selection of pickups for the sound you want. Evolution 7 though is for me, balls out amazing. Overall: I'm going to get the same put in the neck pickup slot. It's a no brainer.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: i had just regular stock bridge pickups and i got so much feedback i couldnt take it so i swapped it with a evolution 7 and my guitar from the second it came on, growled low tone and the highs sometimes get so high it feels like i am on a diffrent part of the neck. This pick-up is going in my custom flying-v. Quality: had it for a year and not a problem yet Value: wont get anything else. i have played many 7-strings and this makes it complete. The Wow Factor: doesnt look cheap and has more "expensive" look over cheap plastic pickups. Overall: This thing F**ken rocks!!!

Music Style: Metal(all types)
Back to Product Information
Sound: Plenty of bite with a lot of hamonic tones. Great competition for the active EMG's. Feature: Tell ya what, jam on one with the distortion cranked and you'll feel like a metal god. They're that good, trust me. Quality: Four conductor wiring, they really kick it up a notch. Drop out those stock Blaze II's and add some scream to your axe. Value: The money's worth it, but during a recession it's tough to justify spending money on a pickup. Manufacturer Support: Didn't need any The Wow Factor: Fries your brain with powerful reproduction of the low B, or low A, or like me, Low G. Overall: Great sound and variablility.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
