{"product_id":"dimarzio-dp262f-dark-matter-neck","title":"DiMarzio - Steve Vai Signature Model Dark Matter 2™ Neck - DP266F","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe love working with Steve Vai. As an artist, he’s constantly evolving and expanding the limits with his playing, composing, and instruments. So when he approached us about pickups for a new incarnation of his signature JEM, we developed Dark Matter 2™ Neck, Bridge, and Middle models. These pickups are specifically EQed to match the earthy, organic aura of the new guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh output pickups can sometimes have anomalies in the high register, meaning they have some sharp edges. While they’re definitely high output like Steve’s other pickups, the new Dark Matter 2™ pickups are engineered with a slight softness on the top end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark Matter 2™ Neck and Bridge models feature a custom laser-cut pickup grill with interlocking gear patterns. (The Dark Matter 2™ Middle pickup is a single-coil in satin nickel.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark Matter 2™ pickups come standard in the new Ibanez JEM Woody guitar, and are available to purchase individually from DiMarzio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Matter 2™ Neck is available in F-spacing only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Matter 2™ represents a change in direction for Steve Vai towards a more organic, smoother sound with softer highs and less raw power. The sound of the Neck Model is very balanced, with a modern voice that works equally well with a clean amp or heavy overdrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e.\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d2emr0qhzqfj88.cloudfront.net\/VolTone500500022.png\" data-entity-uuid=\"\" data-entity-type=\"\" alt=\"500K Volume Pot, 500K Tone Pot, .022 uF Capacitor\" width=\"400\" height=\"220\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended For: Neck.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Connect: No\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring: 4 Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnet: Ceramic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResistance: 8.29 Kohm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Introduction: 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DiMarzio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43344074080330,"sku":"68377","price":189.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/7113\/6842\/files\/DP266F.png?v=1772559785","url":"https:\/\/stevesmusic.com\/products\/dimarzio-dp262f-dark-matter-neck","provider":"Steve's Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
