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.
