Dimarzio is a modern pickup maker supplying all the best guitar player with the pickups they need for a modern sound. Paul Gilbert has been using Dimarzio pickups for years and years. Recently Paul has been using more unique guitars and he started using single coils more and more. Since he was using single coils more and more Dimarzio decided to make one for him. Dimarzio aren't really known for their single coil vintage style pickups. Most of their single coils are really just small humbuckers. Companies like Seymour Duncan are more known for their vintage style single coil pickups. This pickup is Dimarzio trying to prove to the world that they can do a good vintage style single coil. This is that pickup the Injector. Before they made the Injector for him he was using Dimarzios Area line of single coils which are some of Dimarzios few vintage sounding pickups. The Injector gives the Area sound a more modern touch which is what Paul Gilbert wanted. The Injector has an Alnico 2 magnet with staggered pole pieces. The pickup comes with four conductor wiring but I don't know why you would want to split a true single coil. Paul Gilbert wanted a fatter more modern sound from the pickups and thats what he got with the Injector. It still has the super sharp single coil high end and attack that you expect but the lows and mids are boosted as well for a fuller sound overall. This pickups is intended for the neck position but since it is a single coil it works well in the bridge if you are looking for a fuller bridge position sound. In the bridge position the sound is full and aggressive like what you want from a single coil. Even with all the fullness and added low end you still retain the single coil quack and twang. If you are looking for a Dimarzio single coil that has retains its vintage feel but has some modern tones to it the Injector is a good pickup.
