Thanks for your review!

You're welcome!

I'm not sure when they'll be available, though.

So how do these sound in relationship to other Dimarzios? In your clips, they sound vintage ballsy with a hint of that upper high end "chirpy spike". Almost like a PAF Pro...but the "vocal wah" sound got moved to higher frequencies to give it some brightness. care to share your thoughts on how they...

New clip of these pickups through a cranked tube amp:

I just got a package from DiMarzio with a set of Steve's new Gravity Storm bridge and neck humbuckers. I got them for the purpose of reviewing them for jemsite.com First of all--THANK YOU STEVE! I'm not sure what you had in mind when you sat down with Larry on these, but WOW! I love the beefed up mi...

well, the edge pro was the tremolo made to save money by ibanez around early 2000. It was the cut cost model. I use my ibanez ry 350 for around 5 hours a day, go ape on my trem, and never had to replace my springs. Its about time to, but anyway, I dwell it is probably best to take it to an authoriz...

That's my point, but for the previous question--Rich can't sell new stock across borders due to market restrictions.

yukk! Tend to agree. Haven't heard what it sounds like yet (I'm at work!) but it certainly doesn't appeal to me looks-wise. I wouldn't change my Legacy 1 for the world anyway. Interesting to see that Steve has time to do his orchestral thing, construct a replica Evo, build a new amp........where's ...

If this isn't aimed at anyone here--why create a rant thread here? Some will like it while some won't. It's called freedom of choice. That said, it's not 10G--that's list price. Rich is selling them for $7777.00 I agree with most, and won't shell out that much bacon for a guitar, especially a relice...

That's list. Rich is selling them for $7777

Yep--got it now! Looks interesting, too. I especially like the green LEDs inside the chassis.

A 9v battery shoved under the trem is another useful tool. It is not necessary to change the strings one at a time--especially if you're leveling the trem with a battery, coke bottle caps, etc.

As previously mentioned, it's best to run any modulation effects through the effects loop and overdrives in front of the amp. The DS-1 is a distortion, not an overdrive. It does not "push" the tubes like an overdrive does but does act in a similar fashion--it just clips harder. You can run a distort...

Between all three of the Vai sig DiMarzios--the Breeds are my favorites. I love the punchiness of the Evos, the grittiness of the Evo2, but the Breeds are the warmest of the bunch.
