DiMarzio LiquiFire G Spaced Black

DiMarzio LiquiFire G Spaced Humbucker Pickup in Black

One thing has stayed consistent throughout John Petrucci‚Äôs long and successful career: the DiMarzio¬Æ pickups in his guitars. John has been pushing the envelope of progressive metal since the late eighties, and the DiMarzio¬Æ LiquiFire‚Ѣ Neck Model resulted from our most recent collaboration with John. He used it throughout Dream Theater‚Äôs tenth studio album, "Black Clouds & Silver Linings". John swears this is the best live and studio sound he has ever had. He wanted a neck pickup with a flowing, singing solo tone when used with a heavily overdriven amp and a clear chord sound with a clean amp setting.

Since the mid 1990s, John‚Äôs neck pickup sound has been based on either the standard Air Norton‚Ѣ or the custom version in his Ernie Ball¬Æ guitars. The LiquiFire‚Ѣ has several significant differences. Its treble response is warmer and smoother while bass response is tighter and brighter. The total sound has a more focused voice which works equally well for highly overdriven solos and complex, clean chords.
