Designed for John Petrucci´s Music Man JP15 guitar, the new Illuminator 7 Neck and Bridge Models are the next generation in John?s signature pickups with DiMarzio. John says he looks for versatility in his pickups so that he?s able to span a multitude of different sounds within one guitar, going from massive overdrive, very tight, rhythmical and aggressive to more expressive, dynamic and very liquid when he plays solos.
They´re a bit bold possessing the clarity and presence that a 7-string pickup needs, balancing vintage and modern qualities without sacrificing the best of either.
Recommended For Bridge position.
In keeping with John´s desire to increase the difference between neck and bridge pickup sounds, the Illuminator 7 Bridge Model does three things: it opens up the mids, bumps the highs up a notch, and tightens the lows. The open midrange allows overdriven sounds to be powerful without harshness, while the tighter bass response avoids muddy lows.
