DiMarzio D Activator 8 Neck Pickup

The DiMarzio D Activator 8 Neck pickup provides a wide frequency response designed specifically for the demands of 8-string guitars. Engineered to prevent muddiness, it delivers an open, articulate, and dynamic response in the neck position across all strings.
Featuring medium output to balance the natural power and gauge of low strings, its dual coils are individually tuned to distinct frequencies. This architecture preserves clarity under heavy distortion and produces a vibrant, singing solo voice across the entire register.
Equipped with ceramic magnets and 4-conductor wiring, this pickup maintains definition in high-gain environments while offering bright, clear response on clean amplifier settings. It is recommended for neck installation and requires passive controls such as 500K potentiometers for optimal performance.
