The DiMarzio DP116GN HS-2 is a stacked humbucker in single coil format designed to deliver a clean, defined sound with significant noise reduction. In humbucker mode, it provides a natural, bright response that is more open than a conventional humbucker, making it especially suitable for Strat-style guitars and high-gain setups.
Thanks to its 4-conductor wiring, it can also be used in single coil mode, offering a vintage character and maintaining a lower noise level than traditional single-coil pickups. DiMarzio recommends the HS-2 for any of the three positions and it can also be combined with other models in the HS series or used as the middle pickup in H-S-H configurations. This version features a green finish.

Our Opinion
The HS-2 is a highly versatile option for players who want a single coil sound but need better noise control. It has a low, dynamic output, making it particularly effective with amplifiers and pedals that boost gain later in the signal chain. Its ability to operate in both humbucker and single coil modes further expands its versatility, making it a great choice for SSS configurations or as the middle pickup in H-S-H guitars.
