Chrome Black, Angle

Designed for maximum impact and power—to get a tight, aggressive, loud sound. It incorporates a patented dual-resonance coil configuration that senses more harmonic overtones than ordinary humbuckers. Works in almost all solidbodies and most semi-hollowbodies as well. Though specifically created for Steve Vai's Ibanez Jems, it can add a lot of punch to Les Paul and similar set-neck guitars. Makes the lowest notes jump out of the amp, and feedback occurs easily with a wide range of harmonic overtones.

  • Tight, aggressive, loud sound
  • Dual-resonance coil configuration that senses more harmonic overtones
  • Created specifically for Ibanez Jems
  • Adds more punch to Les Paul and similar set-neck guitars

I have this in the neck of my John Petrucci musicman in combination with a steve's special in the bridge. The evolution is one of the best pickups I own. Very clear and articulate. If have you a basswood guitar its perfect. My only complaint is that it is a tad expensive.

I got this pickup to swap out the Duncan Designed crap that was in my Jackson. I find these pickups to be really nice for punching out harmonies. They arent the most high gain pickup but make up in the tone area. Also the totally adjustable magnets help you dial in the sound you want. I found them nice for thrash/hard rock tones.

I own the bridge pick up as well and I put these in my Ibanez Gio. This pickup is NOT for the beginner!!! I haven't been playing guitar for very long and this pup is just WAY sensitive to any and every movement along the neck and pickup area. It's crystal clear tones and surgical like precision is breathtaking! These pups are so clear, clean and precise...I wish I wouldn't have bought them. If you're an accomplished guitarist looking for the sweetest distortion sound you could ever hear...buy these...you'll love them!!!!

I just bought a set of these and they scream. I have them in an LTD MH-50 beecause the original pick ups were trash. The difference is huge! I play a lot of stuff with high gain and high distortion through a Peavey Rage 158. If you are looking for a new set of pick ups these will not dissapoint.

Evolution DP158

I'm playing an LP standard & boogie dc-5 thru marshall 1960a cab. I had high expectations of the DP158, because I love the DP159's OD tone in the bridge. But compared to the duncan pearly gates in the neck position: the DP158 is definitely smooth, but overly-compressed with an utter absence of high end. I'll be sticking with the PG in my particular case.
