About this listing
We first heard about Paul Gilbert in the 1980s. Billy Sheehan told us about an amazing 18-year-old who had recently arrived in California and had blown everyone away with his musicianship, speed, and awesome technical ability in Racer X. Naturally, we immediately asked Paul to become a DiMarzio® endorser. It was the start of a great relationship.Recently, Paul has been heavily into our Area⢠pickups. Heâs also been playing a lot of Racer X-style instrumentals, so the time was right for signature Paul Gilbert single-coil sized DiMarzio® pickups. The outcome of our teamwork is the new Injector⢠Neck and Bridge Model pickups.You can hear it on Paulâs latest CD, Fuzz Universe.
Tech Talk: The Injector⢠Neck Model has a modern rather than a vintage sound. Itâs warmer and louder (160mV output) than a typical vintage single-coil â and of course itâs hum-canceling. Itâs also faster. The Injector⢠Neck Model tracks high-speed solos at high gain without becoming either thin or muddy, and has a very full, well-balanced, clean sound. It has about 40% less magnet-pull than standard single-coils, and this is essential for the superior speed and dynamic range with which this pickup responds to pick attack.Paulâs setup on the guitar he played on Fuzz Universe was Injector⢠Neck Model in the neck, Area 67⢠in the middle and Injector⢠Bridge Model in the bridge. The Injector⢠is a lot louder and warmer than the Area 67⢠but the combination produces varied tonal colors in the 2 and 4 positions, with the Area 67⢠alone providing vintage tone and the Injector⢠Neck & Bridge for heavier sounds. Recommended For: Neck, can also be used in Bridge and Middle positionsDiMarzio Tone Guide: Treble, Middle, Bass, pretty much like on your amp. Scale is 0-10.
