DP256FBK

Illuminator™ Neck DP256FBK, F-spaced.

Designed for John Petrucci’s Music Man JP13™ guitar, the new Illuminator™ Neck and Bridge Models are the next generation in John’s signature pickups with DiMarzio. John says he looks for versatility in his pickups so that he’s able to span a multitude of different sounds within one guitar, going from massive overdrive, very tight, rhythmical and aggressive to ?more expressive, dynamic and very liquid? when he plays solos. They’re a bit bold with more of the clarity and presence that John demands.

Recommended For Neck position.

Tech Talk:
John wants his neck and bridge pickups to occupy separate musical spaces that ?speak? to each other, with individual voices that both blend and stand on their own. The Illuminator™ Neck Model is louder than a typical vintage humbucker, and it has more headroom and a wide-frequency bandwidth. It has a lot of clarity with a clean amp, and warmth without muddiness with heavy overdrive.
