Very nice construction. Surprised by the adjustable pole pieces on BOTH sides

How has it stood up over time?
Only had it for a month but Dimarzio reliability hasn't been an issue from what I've seen

Your general opinion of this product.
Bought it to replace the bridge pickup in my Ibanez Prestige RG2550E. Great bridge pickup, definitely a tonal upgrade from the IBZ, which is a great pickup in it's own right. It accomplished exactly what I needed it to. Not too shrill like most bridge pickups and very nice, vocal mids
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?

Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The tone if this pickup is a very nice blend of everything you could hope for
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
It's bone stock looking. A logo would be nice but then again, understated is a good thing at times.

Mo'joe for sure! Dimarzio and Joe Satriani have created another winner. I replaced the Axis 2 humbucker in my Ibanez JS20s with this, fabulous upgrade!

Just got it, but I'm sure it will last for years; it's a DiMarzio, afterall.

Your general opinion of this product.
I've been playing for over 27 years now, and I've run the gammut as far as pickups are concerned: EMG, Fender, Gibson, DiMarzio, Seymour Duncan...I've had many models from pretty much every brand, but the Joe Satriani series are the best sounding by far!!

This doesn't really apply, other than the awesome sound really inspires my playing and opens up new doors to new sounds.

This is a "medium" output pickup, but it plays like a "high" when ran through distortion/high gain. It's all the best of what any guitarist would want from all spectrums: good lows, smooth mids, crystal clear highs. If you can't get it to sound good, you need to see what's wrong with your amp.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
It's basic black, and looks like any other black pickup.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
No adjustments of any of the pole pieces were necessary.
