I have owned this guitar for quite a few years and have never been able to find out much about it.In fact I had only found one other person that owned one until recently.Di Marzio®/IBZ pickups I want to emulate the Vai pickup combination. Your Clip Lock® nylon strap is too long for me even if I adjust it short. All of our full-size humbuckers except the X2N® and D Activator-X™ are available in two polepiece spacings. For proper string alignment and balanced output, F-spaced humbuckers should be used in the bridge position on all guitars with string spacing at the bridge of 2.1" (53 mm) or greater.On these guitars, if the nut width is 1-11/16” (43 mm) or greater, F-spaced pickups can be used in the neck position as well.They where sold in the late 70's to very early 80's they are very, very rare in the mahogany color and with the routing around the body.Aldens catalog had them listed and they were also sold thru Service Merchandise catalogs.Additionally, we can generally get dealer prices or better from most manufacturers.We do whatever we can to make sure you’re happy with your instrument.
I bought mine at a yard sale for 0.00 and would not trade it for a Gibson Les Paul.
The company also produces miscellaneous guitar accessories, such as cables, straps and hardware.
Di Marzio became known for its Super Distortion model, which was the first after-market replacement guitar pickup.
In general, Gibson chose a narrower string spacing at the bridge than Fender, and therefore the polepieces on Gibson humbuckers were closer together than the magnets on Fender pickups.
When guitar shops started installing humbuckers in the bridge position of Strats, it was obvious that the strings didn’t line up with the polepieces, and if the E strings were too far outside, the sound could suffer.
