DiMarzio DP435BK Mirage Neck Guitar Pickup, Black

Jake Bowen takes a free - form approach to music. His new Ibanez - designed guitar has changed from an old dual - humbucker instrument with Titan humbuckers. Now, it features a double - blade, Strat - style pickup for the neck and a humbucker in the bridge. The Mirage pickups are a great step forward. Jake loves DiMarzio's The Chopper™ but needed a change for the angled neck position of his new guitar. He aimed for a super - saturated single - coil sound that combines The Cruiser™ and The Chopper™. The Mirage™ Neck pickup is the answer. It's a fully humbucking pickup with a bell - like top end for smoothness and an open bass for balance. Jake also asked for a bit more output to match the Mirage™ Bridge pickup, creating an unbeatable combo. We added a satin nickel look to fit the muscle - car style of his new guitar. Features: Recommended for neck position (can also be used in bridge), no quick connect, 4 - conductor wiring, NEO magnet, and 8.2 kOhm resistance.

Using this DiMarzio DP435BK Black Mirage Neck Guitar Pickup is straightforward. First, make sure it's installed in the right position, either the neck or bridge as it can work in both. When wiring, connect the 4 conductors properly. To get the best sound, you can adjust the pickup's height according to your preference. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can affect its performance. If you notice any issues with the sound or connection, check the wiring first. Also, don't forget to keep the satin nickel finish looking good by gently wiping it with a soft cloth every now and then.
