The DiMarzio®/IBZ pickups are specifically designed and manufactured by DiMarzio® for Ibanez, and they are not available separately. Like all DiMarzio® pickups, they are made in our New York factory. Both neck and bridge pickups are high-output models. The neck pickup is fairly bright-sounding, similar to a Super 2™ (DP104). The bridge pickup is a little louder and warmer-sounding, and resembles a cross between the Steve Morse Bridge Model™ (DP200) and the Super Distortion® (DP100).

1) In the early 1990s, DiMarzio designed both the neck and bridge pickups for the (now discontinued) famous Van Halen Music Man signature guitar. This was the first ground up guitar design that Van Halen made. (See DiMarzio Remembering Van Halen)

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.

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.

Select the Pickups link at the top of this page and navigate to the model that you want. Scroll down to the Color Options section. If metal covers are listed in Color Options, then you can get this model with a factory-installed metal cover.

To find color availability please go to the PICKUP link at the top of the page and select the model you are interested in. All of the available colors for that particular pickup will be listed under Color Options.

Although "black back" is not a nickname that we have ever used, it commonly refers to the fact that some of our humbuckers have black base plates rather than brass or nickel silver. This is simply a cosmetic choice which does not affect performance, and it doesn't actually refer to specific models. However, the Breed™ and Evolution^® models are built with black base plates as a standard feature.

Airbuckers are full-sized humbuckers that contain a gap or space between the magnet and the polepieces. The distance is quite small, and may be filled with nothing but air or by some non-magnetic material. The purpose of the gap is to lessen the magnetic field over the pickup, which in turn lets the string vibrate more freely. This results in a purer, more open sound and improved sustain.

We recommend that you contact your national DiMarzio® distributor (where available) directly for more information. To do this, please visit http://www.dimarzio.com/distributors and select your country from the dropdown menu. If no distributor is shown for your country, or your country is not listed, please contact us directly for buying options.

DiMarzio full-size humbuckers are available in two different spacings for better string-to-pole piece alignment. Guitar makers vary both their bridge and nut dimensions, and offshore production can also be different from USA versions.

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.

Below is a complete list of DiMarzio® pickups produced since 1972. If you are trying to find out what pickup you may have, the numbers are on the back, and this list may be used as a cross-reference. Most are available to order today, however there are discontinued models that may be special ordered through the DiMarzio Custom Shop.
