Product Description

DiMarzio DP704 Evolution 7 BK, Pickups for seven-string guitars

  • The DiMarzio Evolution bridge humbucker with F (Floyd Rose-Vibrato) spacing was developed according to the ideas of the super guitar acrobat of the 90s
  • Steve Vai. So what could be more appropriate than to adapt this pickup to the 7-string guitars
  • which he also popularized? What is already difficult with distorted sounds is
  • of course
  • even trickier with a guitar with an additional low string: How do you prevent the deep strings from slipping without taking away too much from the bass foundation? The DP704 masters this task confidently: The sound is loud and aggressive in the treble and mids
  • the bass range still strong
  • but always differentiated. You do not have to call Steve Vai to do something with this pickup
  • even the ultra-deep riffs of the modern heavy group are really punchy with this pickup.
  • Humbucker pickup
  • Very fat and powerful sound with above-average overtones
PROS
  • • Delivers aggressive high-mids and treble response, ideal for modern metal.
  • • Strong bass response prevents muddiness common with 7-string pickups.
  • • Floyd Rose-compatible spacing ensures hassle-free installation on tremolo systems.
  • • Well-built with quality materials; DiMarzio's reputation for durability holds true.
CONS
  • • Output may be too aggressive for players seeking a warmer, vintage tone.
  • • Limited versatility; excels in high-gain genres, less suited for clean sounds.
  • • Can be microphonic if gain is pushed too far, requiring careful amp settings.
