DiMARZIO RELEASES DARK MATTER™ AND VELORUM™ SPECIAL EDITION COVERS FOR STEVE VAI GRAVITY STORM™ PICKUPS

DiMarzio_Dark_Matter_Bridge_DP263FStaten Island, N.Y., January 6, 2016 – DiMarzio, Inc. announces the release of Gravity Storm™ hum-canceling pickups for electric guitars with special edition Dark Matter™ and Velorum™ covers in Neck (DP262F, DP264F) and Bridge (DP263F, DP265F) Models.

Gravity Storm™ Neck & Bridge Model humbuckers were designed for Steve Vai, and he has used them since their 2012 introduction. Steve is always a master of creativity, looking to extend boundaries with his music and art. In that spirit of inventiveness, Steve worked with DiMarzio to design two special edition pickup covers for the Gravity Storm™ pickups.

The Dark Matter™ humbuckers feature a custom pickup grill, with a host of gear patterns reminiscent of a clock. The design is cut all the way through the satin nickel cover, allowing the pickup bobbins below to show through.

Both the Dark Matter™ and Velorum™ special edition humbuckers are available in F-spacing only.

DiMarzio’s Dark Matter™ and Velorum™ Neck and Bridge pickups are made in the U.S.A., and may now be ordered for immediate delivery. Suggested List Price for Dark Matter™ is $199.99 each (MAP/Street Price $139.99). Suggested List Price for Velorum™ is $169.99 each (MAP/Street Price $124.99).
