Mark tweeted he is currently using custom dimarzios. Also, he does have an Invader in the bridge of his Rhoads, you can see it here:

Quoting A:
There actually are Dominion Models with EMG's. There is a signed Dominion exhibited at the Hard Rock Cafe in Berlin that he played at Download Festival 2006. I looked at it closely and the pickups clearly said 'EMG-HZ'. I couldn't take a good picture though.


That was only the cover of the EMG, he sweats a lot and it ruins his bridge pickups.

Quoting Death:
Mark uses dimarzio breeds in the bridge and neck.
Also uses sd 59s in the bridge and neck.
Hes awlays trying different pup combs to better his tone through his mk IVs and Vs.
I just know hes never used actives, and never used invaders either.


Actually he did use invaders. there's a ton of pictures and videos of him with his signature model guitar with SD invaders, they look strange in that guitar though.

They get that electronic sound by using the EVH phase 90 and just putting it on a low frequency

seymour duncan says he uses them, I've seen them a bunch of times and never seen it. Maybe he did for some short stint not sure.

umm yeah, pick-ups wise, both Mark Morton and Willie Adler use Seymour Duncan 59's in the bridge and neck position

0 #9 Invaders — Karl 2009-10-15 10:27
He did use Invaders at one point, i remember seeing them on one of his Dominion guitars, then he put emg covers ontop of them but i don't think he still uses them? but i'm sure he did at one point

I doubt he'd be using an Adrian Smith model, it was probably just a regular Jackson San Dimas model

Umm no, he doesen't use EMGs, he put the EMG cover over the SD 59' to stop sweat from dripping into it from his picking hand.
