Tone Zone
7TM DP755
Almost
as soon as we introduced 7-string pickups, DiMarzio began receiving
requests for a 7-string version of the Tone ZoneŽ. Here it is.
The Tone Zone 7TM
is not simply a 7-string copy of the original Tone ZoneŽ, but
rather a new design that incorporates lower magnet-pull and coils
specifically calibrated to reproduce the full impact of the low
B string without any loss of tone quality or fidelity. The Tone
Zone 7TM
is available in black, creme and zebra (black and creme).

Talk:
We wanted to retain the power and sound of the Tone ZoneŽ in the
Tone Zone 7TM,
but we also wanted to reduce the magnet-pull to let the low B
string resonate better. We found the best way to do this was to
use a ceramic magnet, rather than the Alnico 5 magnet employed
in the original Tone ZoneŽ. The physical differences between 7
and 6-string pickups allowed us to alter the construction of the
'Zone 7 so that it performs as if it has an Alnico magnet, but
its ceramic magnet is actually more stable over time, and there's
about 40% less magnet pull.
