Guitar Parts DiMarzio

The D Activator™ Bridge has an enriched harmonic quality and the notes want to sing. Both the D Activator™ Neck and Bridge pickups were designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups. The D Activator™ Bridge pickup is about 25% louder than the D Activator™ Neck. Since we were developing both pickups as a set from the ground up, we adjusted the volume levels on the pickups so they are balanced. That way when you switch from the neck to the bridge, you don’t hear a drop in volume — also a frequent problem with active pickups — and they don’t use batteries. Made in: USA

In 2006, DiMarzio took a close look at the most popular active neck and bridge humbuckers to see if they could capture all of the good qualities and eliminate the disadvantages: cold sound, limited dynamics, running out of headroom when played hard, and the need for batteries. The end results are the D Activator™ Neck and Bridge. They use coils tuned to specific frequencies. The purpose is to shift the resonant points of the pickups to the fundamentals and harmonics that you want to accentuate from the guitar, and they respond instantly to hard or light pick attack. The sound is powerful, clean, and open, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. The best way to describe the D Ac…

Direct replacement-size pickup for bridge position in solid body guitars (can also be used in neck and middle) that offers the performance of the famous Super Distortion. It provides the same blend of power and tone that made the original the worldwide standard for high-output humbuckers, but also takes into account the fact that this model will be installed in the classic slanted bridge position. Treble response is smoother, and bass response is tighter. Because of their narrow ceramic magnetic fields, dual-blade Strat replacements are not generally well-known for their splitting ability. However, this pickup has a very good single-coil sound in split mode that is not brittle or weak. It has …

This one is a high-output, humbucking soapbar pickup with the same sound and power as The Tone Zone® humbucker. Because of their plastic cover, “soapbar” pickups usually can’t be adjusted quite as close to the strings as standard humbuckers, and compared to full-size humbuckers, soapbars have a slightly narrower magnetic window to “see” the strings. Both factors were taken into account by slightly increasing power and broadening the magnetic field around the coils to allow The Tone Zone® P90 to sound as great as the original Tone Zone®. Designed for the bridge position, it comes with 4-conductor wiring enabling series-parallel humbucking or split-coil …

An SD in a P90 cover? Cool! DiMarzio’s Super Distortion® has been the industry standard since its introduction in the early 70s. The new P90 Super Distortion™ is their highest-output humbucking “soapbar” replacement, and it gives players with guitars routed for P90-style pickups the ability to upgrade their pickups without any modification to the guitar. Like the original Super Distortion®, it has 12 adjustable pole pieces and 4-conductor wiring for split and parallel humbucking modes.

Our first heavy humbucker of the 21st century, the D Sonic is a high-output bridge humbucker designed for the extended low end and heavy chords that dropped tuning delivers; with serious treble response for single-note solos and standard tuning. The D Sonic is more than just a one-sound pickup, too. In addition to the standard series humbucking sound, our patented design utilizes 4-conductor wiring to access two different single-coil sounds plus parallel humbucking mode, for three additional sounds that are distinctive and versatile.

This little fella brings the famous performance of the Tone Zone® to a humbucking Strat® replacement pickup. Built in was the tremendous mid-range and bass response of the original Tone Zone®, and the same patented dual-resonance design produces great harmonics. DiMarzio also took into account the likelihood of installing The Tone Zone® S in the classic slanted Strat® bridge position, warming up the higher frequencies and brightening the low notes a little. It has 4-conductor wiring for parallel humbucking and split-coil modes, and makes a great bridge position combination with the Pro Track™, The Chopper™, and Fast Track 1™. Type: Single Coil Position: …

It's warm, it's friendly, it sounds like a vintage PAF® and will drop right into your Strat®. The Pro Track™ has enough power for any pickup position, and the twin black blades mean there won't be any problems with string-alignment or dropouts. In the bridge position, this is a great blues pickup: combine it with a Fast Track 1™ or Chopper™ (neck)and The Cruiser® (middle) for a solid mix. Match a Pro Track™ in the neck with a Fast Track 2™ or any full-size humbucker in the bridge position for a heavy yet versatile rock sound. Treble response on the Pro Track™ is smoother than that of typical vintage humbuckers. This makes for a good jazz sound in the neck position, as well as an excellent so…

If you’re a serious traditional Strat player, you probably won’t want to know about pickups with side-by-side coils. But if you’re the player who’s up for something more modern with no 60-cycle hum, string drop-outs or sustain-killing magnet pull, we designed The Cruiser for you. Harmonic overtones are right where you expect them to be from a “true” single-coil, and the mid-range is open and vocal-sounding. It’s hotter than the traditional single-coil, and the bass strings have a bit more chunk; this is an excellent pickup to combine with medium-output humbuckers, and it maintains its tonal identity with high-gain amps and multiple effects. Wiring: 4 Conductor. Magnet: Ceramic. Output mV: 140.…

The Chopper is the louder, punchier brother of the Fast Track 1. More power is concentrated in the mids and low end for a bigger sound with more crunch. It shares the same side-by-side coils and twin-blade construction as the Fast Track 1, so there are no misaligned poles or string-pull problems. DiMarzio originally designed it as a bridge pickup to combine with The Cruiser and Fast Track 1, but it’s also a good neck pickup when you’ve got a hot humbucker in the bridge position. The sound of The Chopper is a cross between a single-coil and a full-size humbucker, with more body than the single and more clarity than the HB. Excellent choice to fatten tone and increase power of Strat bridge posi…

The sound of a great vintage Tele® bridge pickup - if you can find one - is almost magical. It has depth. Single notes have weight and presence, and chords have detail and dimension. This was DMs goal for the True Velvet™ T Bridge. Controlled-tension coil winding, custom wire and hand-calibrated magnets give the True Velvet™ T real vintage sound. Like the Twang King™ Bridge model, DMs sonic goal was to combine the best tonal qualities of several Broadcaster® and Telecaster® pickups from the '50's and early '60's. The difference is the "size" of the sound. The True Velvet™ T Bridge is bigger, and there's greater dynamic range, from soft to loud. Type: Single …

Tele® neck pickups are finicky creatures. Players have often complained that they’re too weak, too muddy, and just don’t sound good. The Twang King™ Neck solved these problems, and DM taken it to the next level with the True Velvet™ T Neck. The low strings are as big and clean sounding as they are with the Twang King™, the highs are smoother, and the attack is stronger. This combination of qualities allows the True Velvet™ T to sound both pretty and tough. Like the Twang King™, the True Velvet™ T features controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire and hand-calibrated magnets. Package Contents: Manual Impedance: 6,64 kOhm Magnet Type: Alnico …

It's not difficult to make a vintage single-coil pickup that's clean and bright, but not so easy if you also want the high strings to sound sweet above the 12th fret. The True Velvet™ Neck Model was designed to make this happen by tuning the coil to a frequency range that’s bright but not thin. This was combined with a magnet stagger specifically designed to enhance string balance, which produces great clarity, even with full chords. The True Velvet™ Neck Model comes standard with hand-ground magnets and vintage cloth-covered wire. Impedance: 6,21 kOhm Number of Strings: 6 Colour: White Magnet Type: Alnico V Position: Middle Made in: USA Type: Single Coil F-spaced: No Original …

The neck pickup for electric guitar with classic twang sound. The neck pickup produces bell-like highs and nice attack, and due to the slightly higher than the original output power, the sound remains warm and round. In a gold finish. Colour: Gold Made in: USA

Single-coil electric guitar pickup from the Twang King series, featuring a classic, vintage tele tone and a wide dynamic range. It is specially configured for the position to the neck of the guitar and is made with a chrome finish. The sensor is equipped with an Alnico V magnet. Made in: USA Colour: Chrome

And now something completely different: Bluesbucker® looks like a standard humbucker, but sounds like a P90 and cancels out the 60-stroke buzzing just as effectively as the average humbucker. This means that any guitar with standard humbuckers can have the sound of P90s without modifying the guitar in any way and without noise. The patented Virtual Vintage® and Airbucker® technology allows Bluesbucker® to "see" a narrow string window like a real single-coil, making it extremely sensitive to playing dynamics. When a pair of these pickups are connected to each other, they achieve an open, slightly hollow sound produced by two single-coils. The split of the sensor produces a sound …

The Evolution® Neck and Bridge humbuckers are the result of two years of research to come up with the right sound for a very demanding player: Steve Vai and his Ibanez® Jems. Both pickups are designed for maximum impact and power. The neck pickup is fat, punchy and loud. The bridge pickup is tight, aggressive and louder. Both pickups have our patented dual-resonance configuration to reproduce more harmonic overtones than conventional humbuckers. Evolution® pickups are not polite-sounding, and they’re not for the inexperienced, but – if you’ve got the chops and a hot amp – your sound will burn. The Evolution® pickups were originally designed with live gigs in mind, but they have so much presenc…
