DiMarzio DP103BC PAF

There is no standard reference for the sound of a 50s humbucker. All of them had variations in output and tone, and these differences could be quite significant. Recently, DiMarzio has focused research on making pickups with warm highs and bright lows. This combination is found only in classic favorite humbuckers and is truly excellent for a pickup intended for both the neck and bridge positions. It allows the bass strings in the neck position to avoid muddiness, while the treble strings in the bridge position remain warm and not brittle.
