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
