The Sugar Chakra™ was developed
for Phil Collen of Def Leppard. An iconic player needs iconic pickups;
that’s why Def Leppard’s world-renowned guitarist, Phil Collen, has used
DiMarzio pickups exclusively for over 40 years. When he asks
a question that starts with “What if …?,” you make it
happen!
Phil wanted a single coil sized
pickup with the weight and attack of a full-sized humbucker, yet still retaining clarity.
Sugar Chakra is a thick,
creamy pickup with crunchy mids, designed to feel like a full-sized
humbucker in single coil form. The top end is smooth with
mids that bite just enough to cut through the
mix.
Phil road tested the Sugar
Chakra on the G3 tour with Joe Satriani and John Petrucci. He says,
“It’s just really clear and precise but it’s got all the balls and the fire
power. It’s gonna be awesome as a new addition to the
DiMarzio family.”
This pickup is designed for the bridge position in
solid body guitars. The thick tonality and smooth treble makes it favor brighter
guitars.
