| description = DiMarzio has been working on serious vintage single-coil design with no hum for twelve years. Their goal has always been to capture the best qualities of pickups from the 1950s and early 60s. They’ve played several pickups from the early 60s that had a unique tonality: they were steely, yet woody-sounding. They wanted to nail this sound, and to do it with no hum and less magnet-pull. The Area 61 does it. It’s good in all three positions. It’s the perfect bridge pickup with a pair of Area 58 pickups if you want to go all the way from Nashville to Texas in one guitar. |

DiMarzio set out to mimic the Texas blues sound. This sound is centered on single-coils from the early 1960s, but it’s also based on heavy strings and strong hands. We can’t change your strings or your hands, but the Area 61 captures the tonal bedrock this sound is based on. Like the Area 58, the Area 61 really responds to different pick attacks: played hard, it sounds louder and tougher than you’d expect from a vintage pickup, but it cleans up immediately by picking softer or rolling down the volume control. And like the Area 58, its ability to cancel hum is superior to full-size humbuckers.<ref name=Area61>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20160627223816/http://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/strat/hum-canceling-strat/area-61 Area 61] (product page)'', DiMarzio, Inc., archived June 2016.</ref> |

| description = If you’re a serious traditional Strat player, you probably won’t want to know about pickups with side-by-side coils. But if you’re the player who’s up for something more modern with no 60-cycle hum, string drop-outs or sustain-killing magnet pull, DiMarzio designed The Cruiser for you. Harmonic overtones are right where you expect them to be from a “true” single-coil, and the mid-range is open and vocal-sounding. It’s hotter than the traditional single-coil, and the bass strings have a bit more chunk; this is an excellent pickup to combine with medium-output humbuckers, and it maintains its tonal identity with high-gain amps and multiple effects. |

The obvious question about The Cruiser is “How does it compare to a single-coil sound?” DiMarzio's feeling is that the unwound strings (“E”, “B”, and “G”) are very close, and the wound strings (“D”, “A”, and low “E”) are a little fatter-sounding than a true single-coil. This is really effective for getting open-sounding chords, because high and low strings sound more spread out from each other. Having a total magnet pull that's about 40% less than standard single-coils also means The Cruiser can be adjusted much closer to the strings for more power than stock pickups can achieve.<ref name=CruiserNeck>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20160627191025/http://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/strat/hum-canceling-strat/cruiser-neck The Cruiser Neck] (product page)'', DiMarzio, Inc., archived June 2016.</ref> |

At the same distance from the strings as you'd normally adjust a pickup with full-strength Alnico 5 magnets, the 2.2 has the same power as a pickup from the early 60s. However, because it uses Alnico 2 magnets with about 40% less pull, you can increase the power by adjusting the 2.2 closer to the strings without affecting string vibration or intonation.<ref name=VirtualVintage2-2>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120328230639/http://www.guitar.com.au/pickups/dimarzio/strat/vir_vin_2_2.htm Virtual Vintage 2.2]'', Guitar World (retailer website), archived March 2012.</ref> |

DiMarzio Ionizer 8 pickups on the TAM100 |
- For DiMarzio/Ibanez pickups, see DiMarzio IBZ pickups.
DiMarzio is an American company that specializes in producing a wide range of guitar pickups. The models listed here are factory-installed on Ibanez guitars. This list does not represent the full range of DiMarzio pickups.
Air Classic
|
Description: | Vintage output. The Air Classic™ has the same sweet sound as a classic humbucker, but Airbucker™ technology permits us to use a more reliable full-strength Alnico 5 magnet and still reduce string-pull to increase sustain and sensitivity. The result is an almost vocal, three-dimensional sound that jumps off the string faster and stays true as it sustains. The sense of touch and control this provides will offer you an unequalled ability to create your own sound.[1] |

Air Norton

Air Norton 7
|
|
Air Zone
|
Description: | The Air Zone can be described as a vintage version of the Tone Zone. It offers an ultra-fat PAF tone with wide dynamic range and increased sustain.[5] |
Area 61
|
Description: | DiMarzio has been working on serious vintage single-coil design with no hum for twelve years. Their goal has always been to capture the best qualities of pickups from the 1950s and early 60s. They’ve played several pickups from the early 60s that had a unique tonality: they were steely, yet woody-sounding. They wanted to nail this sound, and to do it with no hum and less magnet-pull. The Area 61 does it. It’s good in all three positions. It’s the perfect bridge pickup with a pair of Area 58 pickups if you want to go all the way from Nashville to Texas in one guitar.
DiMarzio set out to mimic the Texas blues sound. This sound is centered on single-coils from the early 1960s, but it’s also based on heavy strings and strong hands. We can’t change your strings or your hands, but the Area 61 captures the tonal bedrock this sound is based on. Like the Area 58, the Area 61 really responds to different pick attacks: played hard, it sounds louder and tougher than you’d expect from a vintage pickup, but it cleans up immediately by picking softer or rolling down the volume control. And like the Area 58, its ability to cancel hum is superior to full-size humbuckers.[6] |

IGNO
|
Description: | Scott LePage wanted a bridge pickup that had the power to dig in when needed. Alnico 8 was used to increase the output. The IGNO™ features DiMarzio’s dual resonance design with both coils scatter wound to produce a warm response yet not too high in the mids. This keeps the clarity and separation between the treble and bass.[22] |

Notorious
|
Description: | Tim Henson likes the clarity and focus of a vintage single coil in a 21-fret guitar. He wanted to capture the same response and tone in his 24-fret signature guitar. The Notorious™ Neck and Middle single coils are voiced to roll off some treble to make up for the brighter location. Calibrated, degaussed Alnico 5 magnets capture the dynamics of vintage single coils. Tim says the Notorious™ Neck “is great for chords and ringing notes that hold through each other”.
The Notorious™ Neck is a splendid choice when you are searching for the dynamics of a vintage pickup but prefer a smoother top end to even out some harshness in a bright guitar. Tim shares that most of the time he’s on the fourth position which is with the neck and middle pickups together. “I like to play Hendrixian-type riffs with it”.[28] |

|
Description: | Tim Henson wanted the Notorious™ Minibucker Bridge to have moderate output in order to balance with his Notorious™ single coils in the neck and middle. This Bridge pickup needed to have shimmering clarity and focus to capture his playing style. The Notorious™ Minibucker Bridge is the one that Tim likes to shred on.[30] |

Pandemonium
|
Description: | The Pandemonium offers a modern take on a classic rock sound. The coils are tuned far enough apart to create clean, open mids with sweet highs and lows. It can go from smooth solos to pristine, dynamic chords. It features a custom pickup grill designed especially for Nita Strauss with the logo design cut all the way through the black metal cover, allowing the double cream bobbins below to show through.[38] |
|
Description: | The Pandemonium offers a modern take on a classic rock sound. It has a big voice that covers a lot of ground. The coils are tuned to slightly different frequencies to capture both solid lows and warm highs. It features a custom pickup grill designed especially for Nita Strauss with the logo design cut all the way through the black metal cover, allowing the double cream bobbins below to show through.[39] |
Pro Track
|
|
Red Velvet
|
Description: | The Red Velvet has a bottom-loaded Power Plate™, a custom coil winding and the magnet stagger of the True Velvet which combine to give it the sting of a Strat pickup and the punch of a Tele.[40] |
RG-7
|
|
|
|
Satch Track
|
Description: | The Satch Track™ Neck bridges the gap between classic humbucker and single-coil performance. It tracks pick attack and string vibration quickly and accurately like a single-coil, but the voicing is wider and stronger, like a humbucker. The highs are very warm, and clarity is created by keeping the mids and lows tight and focused.[41] |
Steve's Special
|
Description: | The Steve's Special is a high-output pickup which spreads sound over a broad frequency range and scooped mids. It was developed by DiMarzio with Steve Blucher of Dimarzio.[42] The Steve's Special has also been referred to as Steve's Favorite Pickup or just SFP. |
Super 3
|
Description: | The Super 3 is basically a Super Distortion with chopped treble and enhanced midrange. It has a reputation as a heavy metal pickup.[43] |
Super Distortion
|
Description: | The Super Distortion was DiMarzio's original high-output humbucker. It offers a range of tones from thick, boosted mids to big lows to fat highs.[44] |

UtoPIA
|
Description: | Designed for Steve Vai’s signature Ibanez PIA guitar, the UtoPIA™ Neck pickup features a custom laser-cut baroque style cover over a gold patterned layer.
Using the Evolution® Neck as the basic platform, the UtoPIA™ Neck was designed to focus more on the low-end response of the guitar while adding thickness and body to the top end. The challenge was to still deliver the harmonics for which the Evolution® is known. Upper mid-range frequencies were also dialed back to produce a less aggressive attack and provide more control. The UtoPIA™ Neck boasts a big, bold low end and thick top end.[50] |

The challenge was to still deliver the harmonics for which the Evolution® is known. Upper midrange frequencies were also dialed back to produce a less aggressive attack and provide more control. The UtoPIA™ Bridge boasts a big, bold low end, high output, and thick top end. Available in F-spacing only.[51] |
|
Description: | Designed to match the sound and aesthetics of the UtoPIA™ Neck and Bridge for a modern-looking single coil, the satin gold-plated UtoPIA™ Middle pickup features the same etched pattern as the laser-cut Neck and Bridge pickups.
The UtoPIA™ Middle can add some chime to any guitar with a lifeless single coil. Having a healthy amount of treble, the UtoPIA™ Middle can provide the “quack” in the 2nd and 4th position when placed between the UtoPIA™ Neck and Bridge humbuckers.[52] |
Virtual PAF
|
|
|
Description: | The Virtual PAF captures the finest qualities of '50s and early '60s humbuckers to create a great sound. Patented technology permits the use of an Alnico 5 magnet to generate the same low string-pull that an Alnico 2 or 3 produces, and combine two of the most sought-after tonal characteristics: low note clarity and high note warmth. The bridge model has a thicker, woody sound.[55]
This model has been discontinued. DiMarzio recommends the PAF 36th Anniversary as a replacement.[54] |
