Guitar Parts DiMarzio

High-power humbucker pickup that started a sound revolution in the early seventies: replacement pickups simply did not exist before its invention. This pickup (and its original 3-conductor version, the Dual Sound) was the first pickup specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive, and is still the standard by which all other high-output pickups are measured. It has a perfect blend of power and tone: both single-notes and chords jump out of the amp and fill the room (or the track) with a wall of sound. The balance of tones is classic – thick, boosted mids, big lows and fat highs. This is the sound you have heard for over three decades on platinum records, from players as varied as…

Passive pickup for electrick guitar from DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary series with vintage humbucker tone. Although the pickups have a weak magnetic field, the sound is well defined: almost like a single-coil. We duplicated the weaker magnetic field in order to allow the strings to vibrate longer, as well as focus and articulate the attack and output. We use computer-controlled winders to consistently layer the 42-gauge custom-coated wire, achieving the exact frequency response we want. Then it’s dipped in our custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics. The cover is made from nickel-silver and our new plating makes it more magnetically transparent than the originals. It performs equally we…

If you love the sound of a Super Distortion® in the bridge and you like hot neck pickups too, try this one. The Super 2™ takes the classic Super Distortion® sound and slides the EQ up in favor of the high-end, so its brighter top and lighter bottom work to balance out the darker, overtone heavy information up by the fingerboard. The Super 2™ is just the pickup to clean up the overdrive sound of a mud-heavy 24¾’’ scale, two-humbucker guitar or to add snap to a dark sounding 25½” bolt-on. It works great in the bridge or the neck. Position: Neck;Bridge/Tremolo Original Colour by Producer: Black F-spaced: No Тype: Humbucker Colour: Black Number o…

Vertical humbucker pickup in single-coil format that is suitable for use in all 3 position on a Stratocaster-style electric guitars, even though it was originally created to be a warmer bridge-position companion to the DiMarzio’s HS-2 humbucker. Yngwie Malmsteen, Swedish guitarist and bandleader known for his neoclassical metal playing style, adopted this model for his standard neck and bridge pickup, and almost overnight acquired the reputation of being a high-powered metal pickup. This is not really the case: this pickup is actually a smooth and relatively quiet and produces a sweet overdrive tone without jagged edges. It delivers a slightly warmer-than-usual Strat sound. What Yngwie discovered is…

A humbucker pickup for neck or bridge position. The PAF Pro was created when chops-intensive playing was first starting to happen, and high-gain amps and rack systems were becoming popular. A pickup was needed that combined a lot of presence and “cut” with an open-sounding PAF vibe. The transparency of its sound lets the PAF Pro slice through heavy processing, where darker-sounding pickups get lost in the mud of the effects chain. Low notes have both snap and chunk, and there is a spike in the mid-range that gives the pickup a subtle “aw” vowel sound, like a wah-wah pedal stopped in the middle. Treble response is tweaked to produce highs that stand out without getting brittle. The PAF Pro make…

Think of the Super 3 as a Super Distortion with more mid-range grind and chopped treble. If you play your amp with scooped mids and intense overdrive, this is your pickup. The Super 3 pickup’s smooth highs allow you to turn up your amp's treble and presence without fear of thinning out your sound, and the crunchy mids ensure you won't get lost in the mix. It's also a great pickup to use with distortion pedals — it drives them hard and allows full use of their tone controls.

We designed FRED to bump the mid-range of the PAF Pro EQ up a notch, but in the process something unusual happened. Harmonics that humbuckers usually don’t reproduce started popping out, particularly with overdriven amps and distortion units. FRED has about the same power as the PAF Pro, but the unusual overtones create a sound with more crank and growl. Joe Satriani was the first player to discover and exploit these qualities, and it’s been his main bridge pickup until the introduction of the Mo' Joe. FRED is really sensitive to changes in pick attack and control settings, and its distinctive tone makes a great recorded sound for both penetrating solos and tight rhythm tracks. Original Colo…

Have you ever heard a bridge pickup that made a guitar sound like a giant mosquito attack? If you’ve run into this problem, here is the solution. The Tone Zone® is hot enough to qualify as a high-output pickup, but it has a wider dynamic range — hard picking will produce a lot of power, and softer picking will be much cleaner and quieter. It’s got tremendous bass and low-mid response to reinforce the bottom end and make the overall sound bigger. The highest single notes have depth, and chords sound huge. Patented dual-resonance coils reproduce more overtones than you’d expect from such a fat-sounding pickup. It makes a great match with an Air Norton™, PAF Joe™,…

This neck humbucker is 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. Pickup is designed for maximum impact and power - is fat, punchy and loud. Pickup have patented dual-resonance configuration to reproduce more harmonic overtones than conventional humbuckers.
