About the new pickups UtoPIA from DiMarzio.
This is how DiMarzio and Steve himself describes them:
Using the Evolution® Bridge as the basic platform, the UtoPIA Bridge was designed to focus more on the low-end response of the guitar while adding thickness and body to the top end. The challenge was to still deliver the harmonics for which the Evolution® is known. Upper midrange frequencies were also dialed back to produce a less aggressive attack and provide more control.
The UtoPIA Bridge boasts a big, bold low end, high output, and thick top end.
The UtoPIA Neck boasts a big, bold low end and thick top end.
The UtoPIA Middle can add some chime to any guitar with a lifeless single coil. Having a healthy amount of treble, the UtoPIA Middle can provide the quack in the 2nd and 4th position when placed between the UtoPIA Neck and Bridge humbuckers.
