DiMarzio DP158 Evolution Humbucker Electric Guitar Pickup Neck (

The Evolution® humbucker is the result of years of research to come up with the right sound for a very demanding player — Steve Vai. This pickup is designed for maximum impact and power. The sound is tight, aggressive and loud. The design incorporates DiMarzio’s patented dual-resonance coil configuration that senses more harmonic overtones than ordinary humbuckers.

Recommended For: The Evolution® neck model will work in almost all solid-bodies and most semi-hollow bodies as well.

Tech Talk: Obviously, the Evolution® was designed for Steve’s Ibanez Jems, but it can add a lot of punch and definition to Les Pauls and similar set-neck guitars – even the lowest bass notes really jump out of the amp, and feedback occurs easily with a wide range of harmonic overtones.
