PICKUPS
Bridge Pickup
Name: DiMarzio® Tone Zone®
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® True Velvet™
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® Air Norton™
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.
