DiMarzio DP100FBK Super Distortion F-spaced Black

When DiMarzio first developed the Super Distortion, it was a single-conductor pickup. As a four-conductor pickup, it offers incredible versatility. The coil split produces a tone very similar to a Stratocaster, both in sound and output. The parallel wiring is similar to the coil split but remains humbucking and sounds a bit more hollow; Paul Gilbert used to connect two Super Distortion pickups in parallel while playing with Racer X.
