Description
The Illuminator Bridge was engineered alongside John Petrucci for his Music Man JP13™ signature guitar, and it reflects exactly what he demands from a pickup: real versatility. This isn’t a one-trick metal humbucker—it’s voiced to handle everything from tight, percussive rhythm chugging to soaring, dynamic solo work, staying articulate and present no matter how hard you push it.
Petrucci put the Illuminator and Illuminator 7 models to work in the studio while recording Dream Theater’s self-titled album, and the results speak to how well these pickups translate high-gain aggression into something that still feels expressive and musical. There’s a boldness to the output, paired with a clarity that keeps chords from turning to mud and leads from sounding harsh.
- F-spaced for bridge-position string alignment on guitars with routed/floating bridges
- Black cover finish
- Designed as part of John Petrucci’s signature Illuminator pickup set
If you’re chasing that signature Petrucci sound—massive when you dig in, liquid and dynamic when you back off—the Illuminator Bridge gives you the headroom and touch sensitivity to get there. A strong pick for players who need one pickup to cover a lot of sonic ground, from rhythm brutality to soaring lead work.
