DIMARZIO PICKUPS

DiMarzio pickups are world famous – powering the sounds of famous virtuosos Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and bands like Boston, Motorhead, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Def Leppard and more. Larry DiMarzio, DiMarzio Inc.’s founder and namesake, first introduced the Super Distortion and Dual Sound pickups in 1971. These pickups were the first mass market replacement pickups, launching a generation of guitar tinkering that's still strong today. Thirty plus years later, his company produces almost 200 pick-up models, all coming from a nondescript factory on the industrial north shore of Staten Island.
