Javier is so underrated, his latin/flamenco influence in such modern genre is always very refreshing

[@ironwolg]

This guy has simply amazed me in all the videos I've heard him play in. Tosin kinda takes the spotlight in AAL but this guy stands out to me in the world of modern guitar players. He's clearly extremely passionate and excited about his guitar and pickups and he's just an amazing player all around.

[@scatsingin9957]

is it weird that I've loved AAL since 09 but this is the first time I've ever heard Javier speak in my life

[@Jimboishere11]

Scat Singin nup

[@eddiechabak6154]

Such an overlooked player

[@ipredictacatastrophe4370]

+Metal Snowman he is playing beside Tosin

[@ryanquick1956]

+Metal Snowman only by the ones who cannot see clearly.. or hear in this case. =)

[@anthonymichael5846]

I'm so proud of Javier. He's gotten so far and stands out so much on his own. He deserves the recognition. Can't wait for this release.

[@TheBallinCollin96]

Wave of Babies into Earth Departure was fuckin sick

[@3LLT33]

Such a great musician. I love watching this guy play. AAL are amazing and Tosin is obviously a virtuoso but my eyes are always drifting to JR when watching them. More video, please!

[@audreywhitford2444]

that fret buzz absolutely kills me, damn 7 and 8 strings lol

[@toemasmeems]

My 7 doesn’t have this issue at least on my 26.5 scale. The 25.5 does buzz a bit but I keep my tension quite tight to prevent that

[@Noodlezoup]

Are the pickups different since the release of this ltd or is it just now they gave them a official name ? Can't wait for the new Mestis album

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+David Lars Hi, These are the same pickups as are in his ESP signature guitar. LOL, it took a while to name them. All the best, Larry DiMarzio

[@damonstewart70]

+LarryDiMarzio they sound great larry

[@stevenbeechey]

+LarryDiMarzio Any chance of a 7 String set?

[@KYUBIMATIAS]

+LarryDiMarzio Just a thought, but if these pickups were designed to let the high notes in the melody ring out and not get drowned by the low notes from the lower strings, why did you guys name the pickups eclipse? Is that supposed to be a joke?

[@Mikesane]

Album is pure gold

[@williezer0]

i love you javier, you played my favorite part of my favorite song ever at 2:17! you kick ass, u bet you'd make any pickups sound awesome tbh

[@Dylan_LVTD]

what is the name of the song?

[@aaaaseul3860]

Lattalis earth departure

[@ObeyYourMaster123]

I would love to see a comparison of these vs. Tosin Abasi's signature puckups. I'll definitely put dimarzios in my 8 string (when I get one), and now I don't know which model I like better :p

[@PatrickStevensbassguitar]

what an unbelievable talent! his solo music is incredible. i love listening to him play in Animals as Leaders, but it is really great that we get to hear him on his own as well \m/

[@danielnahuelpi]

Those pickups indeed sound like they have "cojones" ;)

[@HansAaraas]

His playing is very interesting and unique. It's obviously shaped by AAL and "the Tosin style", but it's different at the same time. I saw him live eralier this year with AAL. They were amazing.

[@evanwilliamsss]

This is sick

[@giostepanishvili2229]

Really great sound

[@littleredguitars2]

i can't get over how flubby those low notes sound. i dont blame the pickups. maybe his string gauge or action. but damn...

[@flyingmanforfun]

its the scale length..his sig got a 26.5 which imo is way to short for a 8 string, 27-28 is ideal

[@themodernguitarist]

+flyingmanforfun No, it's 27''. His JR-208 sig is the longest-scale budget 8-string ESP makes.

[@alfother]

+littleredguitars2 I know you commented like 3 months ago, but I imagine its flubby sounding because its really typical in mixing to really heavily highpass the signal after recording -- this removes some of the "flub." In a pickup demo, you don't want to do that to be as honest as possible, so I imagine they didn't, hence the flubbiness.

[@J-MLindeMusic]

When I buy an 8-string those will be put in it. Great,very responsive pickups. Great job,Larry!

[@vomitoriumbassist]

Beautiful guitar! Great sounding pickups! I want to goto there!

[@toemasmeems]

Mestiz is awesome

[@IamtheActionman]

Sounds great Larry

[@Cestariarts]

Best guitar he had, with Schaller hannes

[@infernapeDLS]

Javier seems to be way more talkative now than in interviews and demos before xd

[@GuillermoSmyser]

He looks great here too

[@AttitudeCastle]

Man, would have been crazy if he'd ended up the the other guy in periphery. Awesome sound! Dimarzio

[@41rp74n3]

I really enjoy DiMarzio's 6-string offerings, but their extended range pickups sound odd to me for some reason. While the Air Norton is one of my favourite neck pickups, the 7 string version doesn't sound quite as good IMO. Has something to do with that metallic sound Mr. Reyes describes at 2:40 as "bite."

[@obicross]

do you think it's because they use a ceramic magnets in their extended range pickups? some of the 6 string version has alnico and the 7 has ceramics instead...

[@XxSODAFTxX]

his low f# sounds like a pokeball opening. i love it

[@JuanmaBlanc]

I think it's a low E :)

[@non_brewed_condiment]

Anyone know if he has these wired series or parallel ?

[@charvel111]

Will there be a 6-7 version of this pickup??

[@GuillermoSmyser]

+Eddie Villalobos They made a 7 version of Tosin's pickups....I'd bet that they do make a 7 but not a 6. Just my guess tho.

[@Kaptainbeer]

Are these pick ups going to be available in 6 and 7 string configurations

[@runrabbitrun4342]

I can't help but hear a Boom-e- ness is it the recording method ? What would the string gages run like on a 8

[@zachgeorge2175]

Wheres tha fishmans bro haha sounds good though hey if they nailed the first time they nailed it the first time. Cojones baby!!!

[@jln_root4_230]

0:51 - 1:17 What song is this?

[@ethanfritchley6419]

The song is 'Paloma' from Mestís' Polysemy album. It's an adaptation of the ending melody from the song 'Mt. Pleasant' :)

[@hakonbjornsson3376]

Will someone tab that last part from Papillion already!?!?

[@pegasynthelstrohea]

hi Mr Larry DiMarzio, how much does it cost to make a custom pick up with DiMarzio, or is that to varied to say an estimate (say i wanted to have a tone similar to the X2N or X2N-7 depending on what the money situation is at the time i order a jackson costom shop guitar)? please note that i don?t mean right away i know that what ever the price is its more than i have right now but how much (approximately) would i have to save up? also i'm extremely happy with my X2N and X2N-7

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+pegasynth elstrohea Hi, Sorry we do not offer any custom pickups as they require a lot of time and special attention, however, I suggest that you call the NYC office 718 981 9286 and speak with Eric. There a lots of stock items that may be exactly what you want. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

[@pegasynthelstrohea]

Thanks for the reply my DiMarzio

[@pegasynthelstrohea]

Pradeep Patel i actually know that but thanks

[@teddeeh]

Does anyone know Javiers pickup wiring and switching for his guitars?

[@blackjackmcgack]

When are these released in NZ??

[@Canaldeguitarras]

You Should Get Martin Moyano to make some demos in Spanish for this, always in english... we also play the guitar :-(

[@Carnstein]

Wish the lower end sig model didn't come with soap bars :(

[@jayz6008]

Will dimarzio ever look into making a neodymium pickup for hard rock and heavy metal ? That would be awesome . You guys create some great pickups I know you guys could get them right .

[@kimseniorb]

Why does it sound like a neck pickup. Probably the placement

[@toemasmeems]

That’s because he was in the 4 position a lot for this demo. Him and tosin like live there or 2nd position.

[@kbleskate]

Sounds great!... But a little bit strange (non-conventional)

[@mattiatupone4594]

Is it passive or active?

[@soapypen8998]

passive

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

The eq on these are very balenced in terms of eq. If you look on the website they have eq shown which is very hekpful when choosing new pickups.

[@TuGinecologo]

cojones

[@Jimboishere11]

Hmmmm....nuh.
