Gravity Storm™ Bridge DP253

The Gravity Storm™ Neck & Bridge Model pickups were designed for Steve Vai, and are the next step in his pickup evolution. The pickups are named after a song on his album, Steve Vai: The Story of Light.Steve described the sound he wanted from his new Gravity Storm™ Bridge Model pickup as “a thundering cloud of ice cream”. He didn’t say what flavor he likes, but this one has both bite and sweetness.

Tech Talk

A high-impact pickup doesn’t need a tremendous output level to make its point. Where the Evolution®Bridge Model is about power and sharp-edged tone, the Gravity Storm™ is more about depth and warm highs and mids. It's very much a plug and play pickup — it doesn't require a lot of tweaking to get agreat sound. Because the highs are very fat, it's possible to increase treble response on your amp without losing tone and sustain on the high frets.
