Every time I watch such videos, it never fails to confirm the fact that I made the right choice by ordering this guitar. It’s not available in my country but I managed to contact a authorised Ibanez dealer and it’s coming this Christmas!! The customs tax is gonna burn a hole in my pocket. But I don’t care… this Christmas is gonna be lit!!!

Thanks Larry Dimarzio and nita for an absolutely wonderful sound of pickups! Thanks for this excellent showcase!

The first Ibanez I've liked since the Destroyer and Collen's 555. Slick - it really stands out. And one of my favorite players too - so talented and gracious.

Such a sweet and tender voice and talking.

Very smart business move working with Nita! She is a real deal.

The design of these pickups are so awesome

I like the vintage - voice-like - tone of the pickups! Very rock n' roll! Total kickass.

The lighting on this video is perfect. Wow.

Awesome Guitar, Nita. DiMarzio Pickups are Really Underrated... I grew up on Staten island. So it's a bit of old school nostalgia that I was playing when the first aftermarket parts came around... DiMarzio was right in there. And Still IS. And Nita. You Seriously ROCK \,,/ ... Congratulations on being the first female to have an Ibanez Signature model..

I LOVE the "EKG" inlay in Ebony fretboard...I want one

The split sound between middle and neck sounds very bluesy. I LOVE that deep, syrupy tone.

Brutality amazing guitar tone. Greetings from #Venezuela and #rockon 👋😉🇻🇪🤘😎

That sounds like a really great guitar to check out

Gorgeous guitar, great pick up's and gorgeous lady. Rock on Nita!!

The DiMarzio XL strings included on her guitar match well with the pick ups.

Nita you are awesome!

Nita you are my favorite guitar player ;) !!!

Johann Strauss would be proud. Very talented guitarist and yet so down to earth.

Totally agree with you

Like a lot of session guys (and girls!) She's a really 'complete' guitar player. Solos are on point but rhythm playing is flawless. I love these pickups btw.

Again Larry and Steve design a great pickup!

I'm surprised this is on the main channel. Love Nita, her guitar and her pickups, but that amp sounds super stuffy and isn't doing them justice. I think with a different amp setup those pickups would sound killer.

Nita Solo Tour to follow? Great vid by the way \m/

Bridge sounds good.👌🏻

i like her classic ibanez tone

YAAAY THANKS

fret board is cool

I have to try these pups!

So when i first heard this pickup setup form Miss Strauss I was curious to the pro rack compression set up she uses as to how well the pickup played. I was also very interested in her signature ibanez quitar. As well as the steve vai jem as other ibanez guitars. i have been set off ibanez guitars as the necks tend to not withstand the test of time the warp and have long term issues with that. so if you replace the necks periodically not bad.. miss strauss 's signature guitar greatly outdistanced the jem and other ibanez guitars..I was quickly impressed with the pickup however as far as neck versus bridge not too much a difference.. I was mostly impressed with the bridge pickup however her signature guitar had a serious low action and does not allow for a heavy crunch palm muting technique. which means the style in which this lady plays is highly advanced using all fret board harmonics double finger muting triple pick sweep techniques with triad pick upstroke and downstroke muting with advanced sustained arpeggio. I purchased two of the pickups. I put one in a Jackson JS34Q Dinky DKA-M Transparent Blue wired in series. i will put a series/parallel switch. Her signature pickup vs super distortion, dark matter, seymour duncan trembucker or others. I went to guitar center and tried these signature guitars out. And as fore mentioned her pickup surpassed them all.. The only reason i would not but her guitar one the action isnt to my personal preference for play style. But her pickup surpassed the high end jackson. The jem as well as other metal guitars. When placed in my jackson i notice a higher sustain better resolution and response to tremolo bar(which before with the standard jackson pickups is terrible) the jackson and setmour duncan pickups cheaply made. The dimarzion cabling is double sheilded. the Casing is soldered on. The pickup is very high output and adjustable. comes with springs and wiring guides. Amazing pickup. amazing guitar. Highly recommend this pickup. And surprisingly it also plays well clean unlike a super distortion.

love u, Nita.

Very good!.

Would a DiMarzio Fast Track 2 play nice with a DiMarzio True Velvet middle ?

I honestly really like that guitar.

nice squeals outta that neck pickup....very cool...

Nice addition. . .shred on

I've liked positions 2 to 4 for cleans but with distortion is very muddy.

Now the real question, does it come in a left hand version?

That neck pickup has a lot more bite and treble than most neck pups the neck pickup on the Vai Jem is also a bit muddy but I don't think Steve uses it in full humbucker mode most of the time I think he uses it split.

I completely agree with she when say that true velvet middle is the best single coil ever made by Dimarzio... Have a perfect tone in almost any combination with high gain humbs

3:55 I like that rich tone "neck pickup split with the True Velvet". Could listen to that all day if someone just played clean tone chords.

Hi Larry, i'm about to buy your chopper t pickup for a new build and was wondering if I need to order mounting screws and springs with my order or do they come included with the pup?

Thanks Larry, I purchased the pups last week and was pleasantly surprised the screws were included. The additional option of wood screws for the neck pup were also much appreciated.

I love the S series guitars, light weight but heavy sounds! Can do double band rehearsals, 6 hrs, then show at night and do it over next day without suffering.... if I did that w my gibsons I would not be able to walk !

I hear some Neal Schon licks and influence at the end! Who’s crying now

I'm not a Nita fan boy or anything, but I have to say that neck pickup sounds phenomenal.

Nice!

Sic guitar Nita!

Nita for President

Hermosa, inteligente, talentosa... Los Dimarzio no están nada mal tampoco

I want one of those guitars.

Are my ears failing me or does that sound fucking amazing!! Gorgeous guitar too.

its 2020 and nothing to do out in the world so i dropped a couple G's on a Jiva and a RG470MSP. The Jiva is just AWESOME!! i can't seem to put it down. So, the new RG ended up going to my kids and the Jiva stays out of they're hands, lol.

sounded a little buzzy to me but that could just be your amp/effects. I think you should come to my place and play through my rig so I can hear what they really sound like. Ever get to New Zealand? ;)

Guitar yaur voice is beautiful

I wish she'd put out a solo instrumental album. She is? Very cool! Super nice guitar & pickups too.

Side note for everyone saying its not bright sounding...the pickups themselves are on the mid/low sounding side so...yeah

Que hermoso solo hace un video de ese solo

i want to buy this ..

Dude I seen her at Carolina rebellion she did a wicked solo. Rob zombie was on the back stage directly after Cooper Johnny 5 did a solo as soon as they got on stage. He should of waited to the end because going directly after her holy shit she smoked his ass seriously bad she wicked.

Very thick in the lows and mids. I find myself craving more brightness. Could just be the amp though.

Probably 10-46 from D’Addario, and if I remember correctly, she uses that set for D Standard as well.

Nita plays with one less finger than I do and is still better lol. She's a great player.

I love seeing Nita's success now because I've been a big fan of her for a long while, like way before she was near this kind of level. I don't mean to sound like a Hipster twat and be like "I liked it before it was cool..." but genuinely I was listening to Kill Slowly probably around 10 years ago (give or take), so seeing where she is now really makes me happy :)

🤘👍😉nice

Good vibrato - the true mark of a good lead player as far as I'm concerned.

Love Nita! But, I'm confused: Her tone usually seems to have a little more treble, especially on her solo disc. It sounds like the Pandemonium here has a little less treble/mids with more bass, almost as if she has some sort of filter on the humbucker. Still, great musician and her Ibanez looks awesome!

Hi David, I recorded this from a Marshall Code 50 with a Shure 57 and a Beyerdynamic 160. It's a bit rolled off and compressed but that's the sound of the 50 and I agree that her stage sound is brighter. Please check Nita's guitar for yourself. Hope this helps, Larry DiMarzio

LarryDiMarzio Thank you! Funny enough, I’m looking into getting a new DiMarzio humbucker ( I have an old “ Fred “ in the bridge position of my lefty strat ), a new pickup that has a little more “ clarity “ for legato playing. Nita’s pickups here would sound great for my rhythm playing but for my leads, I’m stuck between getting Luke’s Transition pickup or Vai’s Dark Matter. Thanks again for the reply!
