Pickups
Bridge Pickup Name: DiMarzio(R) Tone Zone(R) Model No: DP155 Construction: Humbucking Magnet: Alnico Description: Hot enough to qualify as a high-output pickup, but has a wider dynamic range--hard picking will produce a lot of power, and softer picking will be much cleaner and quieter. Middle Pickup Name: DiMarzio(R) True Velvet(TM) Model No: DP175S Construction: Single Coil Magnet: Alnico Description: A vintage-style single-coil pickup that's clean and bright, but designed to still sound sweet when picking above the 12th fret. Coil is tuned to a frequency range that's bright but not thin. Neck Pickup Name: DiMarzio(R) Air Norton(TM) Model No: DP193 Construction: Humbucking Magnet: Alnico Description: The tone is deep and warm, but not muddy. It's hot, but not distorted. It's even got cool harmonics, which are really unusual for a neck humbucker.
