Dimarzio Steve Vai Evolution Humbucker Set Black
Offer by: Musician's Friend
Price: USD 169.99
The DiMarzio Steve Vai Evolution Humbucker Set contains 3 well-designed pickups: the Evolution Neck F-spaced (neck), the Evolution V2 Middle (middle), and the Evolution Bridge F-spaced (bridge). Easy to install, they'll bring a collection of Steve's favorite tones to your guitar while reducing noise.The Evolution Neck and Bridge humbuckers are the result of two years of research to come up with the right sound for a very demanding player: Steve Vai and his Ibanez Jems. Both pickups are designed for maximum impact and power. The neck pickup is fat, punchy and loud. The bridge pickup is tight, aggressive and louder. Both pickups have our patented dual-resonance configuration to reproduce more harmonic overtones than conventional humbuckers. Evolution pickups are not polite-sounding, and they're not for the inexperienced, but if you've got the chops and a hot amp your sound will burn. The Evolution pickups were originally designed with live gigs in mind, but they have so much presence and definition that they're great recording pickups, too they slice right through even the densest mix.Evolution Neck (neck)Recommended For: The Evolution neck model will work in almost all solid-bodies and most semi-hollow bodies as well. Tech Talk: Obviously, the Evolution was designed for Steve's Ibanez Jems, but it can add a lot of punch and definition to Les Pauls and similar set-neck guitars - even the lowest bass notes really jump out of the amp, and feedback occurs easily with a wide range of harmonic overtones.Evolution V2 Middle (middle)The DiMarzio ISCV2 single-coil pickup is specifically designed for use with DiMarzio Evolution Neck and Bridge models in a wiring configuration made popular by Steve Vai. When the 5-way switch is in the 1 or 5 position, you hear the neck or bridge humbucker. When played in the 2 or 4 position, the middle single-coil combines in parallel with one coil of either humbucker and produces a distinctive tone with hum cancellation. The middle (3) position gives a true single coil sound which is not hum canceling. A schematic of this wiring configuration is included with the ISCV2.Evolution Bridge (bridge)Recommended For: Bridge position in solid body guitars. The Evolution bridge pickup works best for soloing where the sound must cut through. Low notes are very tight, and the highs have a lot of presence, enabling the pickup to be heard in almost any situation. Obviously, the Evolution was designed for Steve's Ibanez Jems, but it can add a lot of punch and definition to Les Pauls and similar set-neck guitars - even the lowest bass notes really jump out of the amp, and feedback occurs easily with a wide range of harmonic overtones.Versatile collection of Steve's favorite tonesQuiet performanceGreat value

Dimarzio Steve Vai 2" Italian Leather Cliplock Strap Black/Silver
Offer by: Musician's Friend
Price: USD 99.99
DiMarzio ClipLock straps, with the world's most secure and unique guitar strap fastening system, have been a favorite of Steve Vai for many years.

The Steve Vai Italian Leather ClipLock Strap is made from thick Italian leather using a special tanning process that makes it incredibly soft and flexible (or for Steve, is it flex-able?). It feels like an old friend the first time you wear it.

Dimarzio Gravity Storm Steve Vai Signature Pickup Black Neck
Offer by: Musician's Friend
Price: USD 79.99
The Gravity Storm Steve Vai Signature Neck and Bridge Pickups are the next step in Steve Vais pickup evolution. Steve used to describe pickup sounds in terms of specific frequency responses. Now he describes them as flavor and texture. The flavor of The Gravity Storm Neck model is sweet and warm, but the texture has an edge to it. It has the depth of a humbucker with some of the bite of a single-coil. Steve described the sound he wanted from his new Gravity Storm Bridge Model pickup as a thundering cloud of ice cream. He didnt say what flavor he likes, but this one has both bite and sweetness.Most neck humbuckers dont do a great job at reproducing pick harmonics, especially if they have a warm sound. This ones different, particularly with 24-fret guitars. The combination of fat neck position tone with harmonics is something most havent often encountered before. It has a throaty quality that sounds like a cross between a humbucker and a single-coil.A high-impact pickup doesnt need a tremendous output level to make its point. Where the Evolution Bridge Model is about power and sharp-edged tone, the Gravity Storm is more about depth and warm highs and mids. Its very much a plug n play pickup it doesnt require a lot of tweaking to get a great sound. Because the highs are very fat, its possible to increase treble response on your amp without losing tone and sustain on the high frets.Neck can be used in bridge position
