DiMarzio DP216W+BK Mo Joe

Joe Satriani has used FRED as his main bridge pickup for years. In 2005, Joe requested a larger, more modern version to replace the FRED on his new Ibanez guitars. The new model, called Mo' Joe, is all about tone and clarity. Its name says it all. It has more output than FRED but doesn’t sacrifice clarity or dynamics. Plus, all the harmonics that made FRED so great are ready to jump out with just a guitar pick. Having higher output makes the Mo' Joe the perfect match for the PAF Joe in the neck position. Together, they offer great versatility and control from rhythm to lead playing.

About DiMarzio

The impact of DiMarzio pickups goes far beyond giving musicians a new and powerful way to shape their sound. DiMarzio pickups literally made it possible for the next generation of guitar builders to challenge the status quo.

DiMarzio’s fresh and often radical ideas were a key component for forward-thinking guitarists and builders. DiMarzio pickups were embraced by an incredibly talented generation of musicians who used them to redefine the technical and sonic limits of the instrument. DiMarzio helped give voice to their sonic expression. And that’s exactly what Larry DiMarzio is still doing today.
