Evolution® Middle single-coils that come on the Ibanez JEM are not ordinarily stocked at retail outlets, though some online dealers carry this model as the ISCV2. You can achieve a similar result by wiring an HS-2™ for single-coil operation only: black wire hot, red and bare wires ground, green and white not connected.
The List Price for DiMarzio® full-size humbuckers applies to black, cream and black/cream only. All other colors and color combinations on full-size humbuckers have a $10 higher List Price. Dealer prices may vary.
It's also true that using a high-output or "distortion" pickup with the lead channel of a very high-gain amp may create an extremely distorted sound, to the point where individual notes have reduced definition and chords blur together. The best way to reduce the amount of distortion in this situation is by lowering your amp's preamp volume or first gain control.
All magnetic pickups produce a clean signal with no distortion. Distortion is produced either in the amplifier or in effects pedals or rack effects. When a pickup is said to produce distortion, it indicates a pickup with high output, which more easily drives amplifiers into distortion. An amplifier with a totally clean channel or clean setting may not distort at all, even with a high output pickup.
Several of our 6-string models are available in 7-string versions of the same name. Additionally, our Blaze™ neck model is very similar to an Evolution® neck model, and our Blaze™ bridge model is very similar to a Steve’s Special™. All 7-string models that we presently offer are listed on the 7-String pickup page; we are unable to make custom 7-string versions of any other 6-string pickups at this time.
The suggested U.S. retail prices of our products can be found throughout this site or by requesting a full copy of our consumer price list. DiMarzio® dealers determine actual retail prices in their own stores, but most dealers offer our suggested retail price. Prices outside the USA are generally higher due to import costs and VAT.
Generally, orders for pickups in colors take an extra day or two to leave our factory. As of 2020-2021, lead times may be further extended due to COVID-19.
We can do alternate polepiece colors on some models that have adjustable polepieces. Please call or email with your specific request. There is an extra charge of $15 List Price for alternate polepiece colors when available. Dealer prices may vary.

At this time we do not do custom winding or hardware. However, you may not be familiar with some of our older models that are no longer listed, and one of these models may be just what you need. Please call or email our technicians for advice.
We are occasionally able to sell some OEM pickups directly to customers, or to make a recommendation as to which other pickup in our retail line would most closely resemble it. For additional information, please contact our tech department at [email protected].
