DiMarzio DP 100 Black/Black

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 Ace Frehley, Al Di Meola, and Paul Gilbert. It is also versatile: 4-conductor wiring allows instant access to Strat-like split and series-parallel modes. The pickup is primarily suitable for a bridge position, although it can be used in the neck position with a relatively low-gain amp. It also has been specifically designed for solid-bodies: hollow and semi-hollow guitars can be hard to control with warm, high output pickups. Black colour design with black polepiece.
