DiMarzio Steve Morse Model
Very hot, tight and aggressive, with forward mids and a big low end.
Hotter than 100% of the 230 neck humbuckers we have · estimated from resistance
- Ceramic magnet: the strongest pull: tight lows and a sharp attack
- More mids than a typical DiMarzio
- More low end than a typical DiMarzio
“Yes, it's dark ish, I had treble at 3 o'clock, but it DOES sound like Steve Morse, that's his tone.”

Steve Morse Explains How He Uses DiMarzio Pickups
“It works great in the Steve Morse model guitar or in an ax pushing a Mesa Rectofier as it doesn't get muddy and is very punchy through an amp with a lot of lows like the Mesa.”
“Yes, it's dark ish, I had treble at 3 o'clock, but it DOES sound like Steve Morse, that's his tone.”
