An Iconic Pickup, Adapted for 7 Strings
Introduced in 2000, the DiMarzio Evolution 7 Bridge DP704BK does more than just replicate the 6-string model's formula. The goal is clear: maintain the "Evolution" character while avoiding muddiness on the 7th string. The result is a bridge pickup tailored for modern 7-string guitars, with a revised response to stay clear even under high gain.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
This pickup is aimed at guitarists seeking a powerful, precise, and very present sound at the bridge: shred, metal, technical rock, prog... Its energy concentration in the upper mids and treble adds bite to palm mutes, clarity to complex chords, and excellent articulation in solos, ideal for dense distortion.
Power, Presence, and Definition: The Evolution Recipe
With its ceramic magnet and high output level, the Evolution 7 Bridge delivers a fast and cutting response, perfect for precise pick attacks. The Virtual Vintage technology helps optimize frequency response so the extra string remains controlled and defined. Its balanced tonal profile (treble, mids, and bass) emphasizes immediate presence while retaining the necessary foundation for 7-string riffs.
