The DiMarzio Breed Neck was designed for Steve Vai when he wanted a different sound than his original Evolution pickups. They’re a lot closer to a normal PAF than the Evolution and not nearly as hot. They feature adjustable allen head bolts on both coils, four conductor wiring and an Alnico 5 magnet.
This pickup is more than just a magnet swap of the Evolution. It’s quite a bit different, which I find to be a really good thing. The Breed Neck is modeled after the PAF Pro. It’s a bit hotter with more midrange and less treble. It’s actually pretty close to the Air Norton, except this is a bit more open and has a bit more treble. The lows are warm and round. It resembles that “vowely” old school PAF sound at times. The mids are fairly pronounced and help keep everything compressed but not too over the top. Treble is pushed back a bit to keep everything real fat and smooth in the neck position. Split coil sounds are pretty cool, and running the pickup in parallel is neat as well.
This pickup really does work in nearly every guitar out there, and it’s my second or third favorite DiMarzio neck pickup to boot. It doesn’t matter if the guitar is alder, mahogany, basswood, maple, ash or what. This pickup just seems to mate with whatever wood it goes in. Magnus Olsson is a big fan of this pickup, and nearly all of his recordings feature this particular pickup. One cool thing you can try is running it in the bridge. Putting this in the bridge brightens it up a little and opens up the guitar a bit. It’s a real cool alternative to the PAF Pro in the bridge. I highly recommend checking this pickup out.
