Description
The Transition neck pickup is DiMarzio’s collaboration with Steve Lukather, built to cover the gap between glassy clean tones and saturated lead work without losing character at either end. As a humbucker, it cancels 60-cycle hum so you get quiet performance whether you’re tracking in a studio booth or standing in front of a hot amp on stage.
In the neck position, this pickup leans into a balanced voice: enough low-end warmth to keep chords full, but with a brightness on top that keeps single-note lines articulate instead of muddy. It’s the kind of pickup that lets a solo cut through a mix while still sounding musical, not shrill.
- Signature Steve Lukather design (DP254/DP255)
- Neck position humbucker
- Ceramic magnet for consistent output and durability
- 4-conductor lead wire for coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring options
- Black & Creme cosmetic finish
The 4-conductor wiring means you’re not locked into a single sound – wire it straight for full humbucker output, or set up a switch for split/parallel tones if your build calls for extra flexibility. Combined with the ceramic magnet’s tight, punchy character, this pickup holds up reliably through repeated gigging and long studio sessions alike.
If your playing moves between shimmering cleans and pushed-hard leads, the Transition neck pickup gives you a single unit that handles both convincingly – a solid pick for guitarists who don’t want to compromise on tonal range.
