Paul Gilbert: DiMarzio - All the details on the new Injector pickup

We first heard about Paul Gilbert in the 1980s. Billy Sheehan told us about an amazing

18-year-old who had recently arrived in California and had blown everyone away with his

musicianship, speed, and awesome technical ability in Racer X. Naturally, we

immediately asked Paul to become a DiMarzio endorser. It was the start of a great

relationship.

Recently, Paul has been heavily into our Area™ pickups. He’s also been playing a lot of

Racer X-style instrumentals, so the time was right for signature Paul Gilbert single-coil

sized DiMarzio pickups. The outcome of our teamwork is the new Injector™ Neck and

Bridge Model pickups.

The Injector™ Bridge Model is one of our hottest hum-canceling models (185mV output)

with six individual Alnico magnets. It was designed to work equally well with rapid single-

note arpeggios and power chords without becoming muddy or compressed. It has about

40% less magnet-pull than standard single-coils, and this is essential for the superior

speed and dynamic range with which this pickup responds to pick attack. Paul loves the

results, and you can hear it on his latest CD, Fuzz Universe.  full details
