_ _ JP [N]-13 Musicman guitar, and in this guitar we did something new regarding the pickup
system in addition of a preamp and sort of redesign of the pickup.
So what I generally look for in a pickup _ is _ versatility, meaning that I want to be able
to span a variety of different sounds with the same guitar.
I need to be able to go from
playing things that are very powerful, very tight and rhythmical and aggressive, to things
that are more expressive, more dynamic, and very liquidy in singing when I'm playing
solos.
For rhythms, I was looking for something that would give me a tight and defined sound.
So this is the new Illuminator Bridge pickup, and it is the next generation of my signature
pickup with DiMarzio.
It's a bit more bold, it has more clarity, and more presence. _ _

_ This is the Illuminator Neck pickup.
I was looking for something to give me aggression
and a tight sound as well as an expressive lead sound.
_ It is a pickup that has a bit
more clarity, a bit more presence, _ and it just sort of speaks more.
It's out there.
It's out in front.

I'm here in the studio where we have been writing and recording the latest Stream Theater
album for the last several months, and I'm really excited about this album.
It's our
first self-titled album in our career, and it really makes a strong statement as to the
identity of the band and the message.
