DiMarzio Dark Matter 2 Electric Guitar Pickup

DiMarzio loves working with Steve Vai because as an artist, he's constantly evolving and expanding the limits with his playing, composing, and instruments. When Steve Vai approached DiMarzio about pickups for a new incarnation of his signature JEM, they developed Dark Matter 2 Neck, Bridge, and Middle models. These pickups are specifically EQed to match the earthy, organic aura of the new guitar.

High output pickups can sometimes have anomalies in the high register, meaning they have some sharp edges. While they*re definitely high output like Steve's other pickups, the new Dark Matter 2 pickups are engineered with a slight softness on the top end.

Dark Matter Neck and Bridge Pickup

Dark Matter 2 Neck and Bridge models feature a custom laser-cut pickup grill with interlocking gear patterns. (The Dark Matter 2 Middle pickup is a single-coil in satin nickel.)

Dark Matter 2 pickups come standard in the new Ibanez JEM Woody guitar, and are available to purchase individually from DiMarzio.

The Dark Matter 2 Bridge and Neck pickups are available in F-spacing only.
