Steve explains how he uses DiMarzio pickups

From DiMarzio: “Guitar legend and friend, Steve Morse, shares how he worked with Eric Johnson on the song TexUS. He explains how he uses DiMarzio pickups to shape his sound, changing between different positions and types of pickups during solos and rhythm parts.

We designed his pickups to match his unique approach to playing guitar, and Steve commonly switches between pickups mid-solo — playing the neck pickup on the high notes and the bridge pickup on the lows — so both pickups must be evenly-balanced over the entire fingerboard.

The Steve Morse Model™ Bridge delivers high output and a strong attack centered on the mids. It is also designed to give more definition when Steve plays harmonics. We engineered the Steve Morse Neck Model™ specifically for this purpose, with a dark, smooth sound that is clean and uncompressed.

For clean tones and those times when Steve needs to sit back in the mix, he relies on his HS-3™ single coil pickup. In Steve’s signature guitar, only the top coil of the HS-3™ is connected.”
