Designed for Dream Theater's John Petrucci for use on his Music Man JP13 guitar, the Illuminator Neck and Bridge Models are the next generation of his ongoing collaboration on signature pickups with DiMarzio. John says he looks for versatility in his pickups so that he can to span a multitude of different sounds on one guitar, going from massive overdrive, very tight, rhythmical and aggressive to "more expressive, dynamic and very liquid" when he plays solos. They're quite bold — with more of the clarity and presence that John demands.
