DiMarzio DP267F Dark Matter 2 Middle Pickup (Satin Nickel)High output pickups can sometimes have anomalies in the high register, meaning they have some sharp edges. While they're definitely high output like Steve Vai's other pickups, the new Dark Matter 2 pickups are engineered with a slight softness on the top end. The Dark Matter 2 Middle pickup is a single coil in satin nickel, designed to coordinate with the interlocking gear pattern pickup grills of the Dark Matter 2 Neck and Bridge. Specifications
