DP159W

EvolutionxAE Bridge DP159W.

The EvolutionxAE Neck and Bridge humbuckers are the result of two years of research to come up with the right sound for a very demanding player: Steve Vai and his IbanezxAE Jems. Both pickups are designed for maximum impact and power. The neck pickup is fat, punchy and loud. The bridge pickup is tight, aggressive and louder. Both pickups have our patented dual-resonance configuration to reproduce more harmonic overtones than conventional humbuckers. EvolutionxAE pickups are not polite-sounding, and they’re not for the inexperienced, but x96 if you’ve got the chops and a hot amp x96 your sound will burn. The EvolutionxAE pickups were originally designed with live gigs in mind, but they have so much presence and definition that they’re great recording pickups, too; they slice right through even the densest mix.

Recommended For Bridge position in solid body guitars.

Tech Talk
The EvolutionxAE bridge pickup works best for soloing where the sound must cut through. Low notes are very tight, and the highs have a lot of presence, enabling the pickup to be heard in almost any situation. Obviously, the EvolutionxAE was designed for Steve's IbanezxAE Jems, but it can add a lot of punch and definition to GibsonxAE Les PaulsxAE and similar set-neck guitars - even the lowest bass notes really jump out of the amp, and feedback occurs easily with a wide range of harmonic overtones.
