New DiMarzio - AT1 (Andy Timmons)

[JohnnyGuitarCA]

I'll be gettin' this one right away...

"A Player's Player" is a perfect description for Andy Timmons. He has great touch, phrasing and tone. Since 2001, he's been playing a DiMarzio custom bridge humbucker which has only been available in his signature Ibanez® guitar, and it's been his first-line pickup ever since. the outstanding characteristics of the DiMarzio AT-1™ are balance, warmth, and clarity. It achieves this blend with the same patented technology as the PAF® 36th Anniversary, but the sound is hotter and the focus is rock.

Recommended For: Bridge

Tech Talk: The DiMarzio AT-1™ was originally designed for a 25" scale, mahogany-body guitar, but it adapts very well to other instruments. It has enough bass and mids to warm up brighter guitars, and enough clarity for 24" scale set-necks as well.

T/M/B - 5.5/8/8

MAGNET - ALNICO 5
OUTPUT - 315
DC RESISTANCE - 16.50

I've been waiting for this also ! Wow!
Instead of a Breed bridge, I might just go for the AT1.
I need something thick and rounded in the top end like Timmons' tone.

Specs look like an underwound Super D with an A5 instead of ceramic. Could be better for cleaner sounds than the Super. Not as much drive trying to make your amp bark.

Very interesting.....

Underwound? The SuperD actually has a lower DC Resistance than the AT-1. It's the big ceramic magnet that gives it the power.

I like the specs on this one.

Sounds closer to a Tone Zone to me

Actually Timmons' signature model was based off of the Breed IIRC.

I used to own an AT300. It had one of these Andy Timmons pickups. It was a nice sounding pickup but I found it a little dull. Had I kept the guitar it would have been removed in favor of a Suhr or WCR pickup.
