The BreedTM Neck Model DP165 & F


If you've seen Steve Vai perform in the last few years, you may have seen him playing a Jem guitar with the word Pogo taped on the face. Steve wanted one of his instruments to have a fat, classic humbucker sound to contrast with the hotter, screaming Evolution-equipped guitars. This is the neck pickup we developed for him.

Recommended For:

Neck position on bolt-on trem guitars, bridge position on set-neck fixed-bridge instruments.

Tech Talk:

The BreedTM is a bit louder and fatter-sounding than the PAF Pros® that Steve used on his earliest Jems. As a neck pickup, it has more than enough power to balance with high-output bridge pickups: it will work the the Tone Zone®, Super Distortion® and Evo as well as the Breed bridge model. In the bridge position, it has a very warm, hot PAF® tone - really smooth, with nice harmonics.

Specifications:

Wiring Standard four conductor
Magnet Alnico 5
Output 325mV
DC Resistance 10.14K
Year of introduction 1997
Patent # 4,501,185
