But obviously the 6 and 7 string versions are going to sound different due to coil size, wire/winds, that make up the coil.

Not necessarily.

I really dig the tones in those videos. I need to get myself a set of these pickups, but the question is... which guitar am I going to put them in?

DiMarzio would probably recommend all your guitars?😃

I have a cheap little RG 220 that my brother bought as a project and lost interest in so he gave it to me. I think these would be perfect for that axe.

"Although it may seem odd, John Petrucci has recently requested more of a blues-based tone"

I don't understand this. What does DiMarzio mean by blues-based tone? More dirt? If yes, i'd like that. The Liquifire sounds a bit too clean sometimes.

Maybe John is going to meet Vai at the Crossroads.  It would be an epic battle of the shred-lords.

Lmao.
I just rewatched the vid of Petricci I posted above. Neither pickup sounded all that bluesy to me.
But still, they both sound amazing.
But John’s tone is so heavily processed in the video as well, so who knows what the pickups are capable of with different settings etc.

Modern Blues is different.  If you do a 2-step bend in today’s music, you’re a blues player.  John is a blues player on steroids.  Steve Vai is an extension of his Frank Zappa influences.  This post is a bit facetious,  but like it or not music evolves.  I’m not a big fan of alot of guitar effects.  I like to hear the sounds of the guitar and pickups.  It does not get any better than that.

Most of what we hear has been digitized, compressed, processed, EQ’d, boosted that all natural sounds of the pickups just don’t exist.  The only way to get the true sounds is through your own gear.  Regardless of what we see, behind the scenes the audio files were modified and optimized before publishing.

Just installed my second Dreamcatcher, made a HUGE difference from the stock Jem Jr bridge pickup.
Now I have to get a Rainmaker or two...

I don't know why but I dig these colors - a real 80s statement.

I have a gig next weekend playing nothing but Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and other 80s fun hits, so it'll be perfect for that job!

Got the appropriate strap in the mail just 30min ago too.

[DarthPhineas]

Just scored a set of these should be here in a few days.

More later.

Can’t wait for your thoughts on them!
