DiMarzio
DiMarzio Mirage
Hot, tight and aggressive, with forward mids and a dark top end.
Hotter than 70% of the 280 bridge humbuckers we have
- Ceramic magnet: the strongest pull: tight lows and a sharp attack
- More mids than a typical DiMarzio
- Darker than a typical DiMarzio
“The new Jake Bowen "Mirage" also looks somewhat promising with its emphasized lows/mids and rolled off high end..”

Jake Bowen of Periphery demos his DiMarzio Mirage Bridge and Neck Pickups
“The mids are pushed forward ever so slightly, in as much as to help firm up the lows and fortify the highs.”
“The new Jake Bowen "Mirage" also looks somewhat promising with its emphasized lows/mids and rolled off high end..”
