Thanks for the review and comparison. Any reason why you stuck with the 250k pots?

I think its the anti corrosion thing elixir uses
Do you know whether they do this on the plain strings, too?
Hey all, Thank you for finally having me first off, it took forever to get the confirmation email...
But I am curious as to what is DiMarzio's deal with why they don't do more color options for the 7-string models... and right off the bay, the colors that come to mind are pink, the green & yellow (like on the Ibanez UV777GR), and the chrome bobbins like on the UV77SVR (Silver, from the 3 Passion and Warfare anniversary models a few years ago...)...
I've since found out that apparently you can & someone has ordered the green & yellow combo for a UV70 Premium Universe, but that "there hasn't been enough of a demand for the chrome bobbin 7-string models" per thier tech via an email... And I'm sure that pink would still be a hard NO if inquired...
So does anybody else want DiMarzio to start making and offering more of the 7-string models in these colors and actually offer them on thier website like they do the 6-string counterparts???
I bought a paf joe and put it into the neck of my 22 fret Epipone LP, paired with a Dactivator bridge. It has two sets of adjustable poles. Recently, adjusting them, optimizing pickup height, and wiring the pickup in parallel gave a much more vibrant sound. I definitely recommend using a very small bright cap to keep the delicate overtones if you like doing volume swell.
Super classic rock n roll tone, wired the bridge pu in series so that when I switch from this there is significant volume boost. This is very much a rhythm guitar pickup. Everyone was right about pick attack, but I use a heavy pick like .7mm minimum, and I like the amount of definition. very low noise. The sound was super punchy and clear for leads when I had it in series, and I may add a switch for that later, but I wasn't as happy with that tone as the 10/10 parallel.
PS this would be mud in a fender neck position... someone already said do not try and I won't.
