DiMarzio DP708BK

Crunch Lab 7? DP708BK. One thing has stayed consistent throughout John Petrucci?s long and successful career: the DiMarzio® pickups in his guitars. John has been pushing the envelope of progressive metal since the late eighties, and the new DiMarzio® Crunch Lab 7? Bridge Model ensued from our most recent collaboration with John. He used it throughout Dream Theater?s tenth studio album, ?Black Clouds & Silver Linings?. John swears this is the best live and studio sound he has ever had, and the name says it all ? ?crunch? is what it?s all about with a big, tight sound that?s neither muddy nor thin. Recommended For Bridge position. Tech Talk The Crunch Lab 7? is noteworthy (bad pun alert) for what it doesn?t do ? it?s not a screamer, and it?s not about thundering lows. Its physical appearance is identical to the D Sonic 7?, but the internal design is a lot different. It?s louder, and the highs have more depth. The lows and mids are more open, and this is crucial for playing chords with body and presence through a gained-out amp. The way the pickup attacks a note is both sharper and stronger, and this allows the Crunch Lab 7? to be installed with the solid bar towards the neck. Specs. DP708BK: Finish: Black.
