Recommended for bridge position. It might look like a Strat guitar pickup, but the SDS-1™ adds balls, gain and warmth reminiscent of the best old soapbar pickups. The adjustable pole pieces don't pull as hard as regular rod magnets, so you can get the pickup closer to the strings for stronger output. The highs are less exaggerated and the bottom is deeper than most singles for a rounder, darker tone. If your guitar's bridge position sound is too edgy, without the push needed to drive your amp, remedy the situation with an SDS-1™. Add a pair of Class of 55™ pickups for sparkle, or a Class of 55™ in the neck and an FS-1™ in the middle for even tone choices.
The bar magnets that power the SDS-1™ are ceramic, but the sound and feel are very similar to Alnico-equipped soapbars, partly due to the big steel polepieces and spacer bar. This type of magnet structure also has noticeably less magnetic pull than standard rod-magnet pickups, even though the output is very high for a single-coil.

Comments about DiMarzio DP111 SDS-1 Guitar Pickup:
This is a good humbucker sounding pickup. It might be good in the bridge position of a Strat if you don't like the twang of the stock Strat pup. Be Forewarned though, this pickup will not fit properly into a shallow cavity like the middle position of an Ibanez. It is one of those pickups like a stock MIM Strat that has a HUGE magnet on the bottom. It will just barely fit in under the strings of an Ibanez s370, and that's with the cover taken off. Don't purchase this for use in anything that has a fixed depth for the cavity.

see above
It's a single coil pickup....no real new technology
I purchased this to go in a mongrel strat that consists of a MM neck, MIM loaded pickguard and an American strat body. I wanted a true single coil pickup to go in the bridge position that has a little more oomph. It does just that. The only downsides are that it is slightly noisier than the MIM pickup and new the 2nd position on the switch no longer has a noiseless quack sound. Becareful in buying this because it does require more depth than a standard stock single coil. If your putting this in an import you may have to make modifications.
The unfortunate part is no one will tell you this. You will get a surprise when you open the box and read the instructions.
Comments about DiMarzio DP111 SDS-1 Guitar Pickup:
A seriously phenomenal pickup! I replaced my stock texmex bridge pickup with this amazing P90ish pickup. It's raw, middy, and full. It really screams when it's gained up. It's not great on the clean channel but neither are any strat bridge pickups.
Comments about DiMarzio DP111 SDS-1 Guitar Pickup:
I use two of these on my strat, in the bridge and middle positions with a Fender Noiseless Neck pickuck. It ROCKS.I know these things are a "super distortion" pickup but remeber they still only have the output of a mild "vintage" type PAF humbucker. In other words these pickups can and do provide some really sweet, slightly gritty cleans. A great sounding and versatile pickup especially if your using something like a JCM900 or 2000 or one of the MA amps, which all sound kind of crummy with Fender guitars.
Comments about DiMarzio DP111 SDS-1 Guitar Pickup:
HOLY MOLY!!....That's right, this pickup is GREAT. It's loud and in your face!.... Now, how many of you have tweaked your amp to get the neck and middle pickup of your Strat sounding right only to find that now the bridge pickup sounds small and wimpy? Then you try and fix the bridge pickup tone, now you just lost your tone you had for the other pickups. Well brothers and sisters, this pickup cures this problem. It's loud with balls to the walls beef and sounds great with the other pickups. Position two still has that "quack" as normal. If you get a strange tone in this position you most probably need to reverse the wires. I used it for the first time tonight and I was blown away. My '62 reissue Strat has every bit as much punch, balls and powers as my Les Paul, just as little different as it is not a Les Paul. I am going to get another one and install it in my other '62 reissue.....
Comments about DiMarzio DP111 SDS-1 Guitar Pickup:
I put this Dimarzio sds in the bridge in my American Roadhouse strat. Wow,what a change. It now has a beefy, nasty distortion tone that i couldnt get out of the stock Fender pickup. The only problem I have with it is that it is a little noisy, but not anymore than the stock, so its a trade off there. I am pretty picky when it comes to guitar sound and I was pleasantly surprised with this. At this price,you cant beat it. My strat is much more versatile because of the addition.
Comments about DiMarzio DP111 SDS-1 Guitar Pickup:
Just installed this pickup in the bridge position of my custom strat style guitar. It is not as trebly as the original '62 reissue pickup I had in it. I might move it around, being as I am always looking for the elusive "Perfect Tone". was quite impressed considering I usually prefer SD Pickups.
Comments about DiMarzio DP111 SDS-1 Guitar Pickup:
If you?re looking for Humbucker sound in a single coil, this is a good choice. I installed mine at the bridge, to replace the thin-sounding original pickup of an early 80?s Japanese-made Fender Strat (these era Strats are not bad structurally, but the pickups are terrible). I wanted a more of a humbucker sound but did NOT want to route the body, and wanted to keep the triple-singlecoil appearance.When played clean it has more low-midrange than the original pickup, but wont sound completely clean due to the windings. Purists may not like it. But when you use amp-gain or a distortion pedal, WOW? this thing screams! It?s not like a hot bluesy overdriven sound, like Hendrix, ZZ, or SRV. No, it goes way beyond that, approaching shred. But still retains the original look at first glance (the pickup itself looks like half of a Dimarzio HB with the hex-head adjustable poles) Now here?s the downside;1- When saturated, you get extreme distortion, but it?s more toward the high end, not low & chunky like a real HB, so you have to EQ the midrange & bass up on the amp2- This pickup is NOISY. If there is any 60cycle buzz in the house electric power this will pick it up. Same thing if there are any TVs, Neon bar signs, etc close by. If you play loud for an entire song, it?s ok, but during quiet parts (like the silent pauses in ?WarPigs?), you?ll hear a buzz, and must quickly turn down the volume, a real pain. Keeping the volume knob no higher than 8 helps but then you loose some saturation. I use a noise-gate pedal, it helps a lot. 3- Using this pickup with the stock middle one, you loose the out-of-phase duck-quack tone on pickup setting 2. It instead produces a nasty thin sound that is almost unusable. I read somewhere that adding a hot bluesy pickup in the middle, helps this problem a little.But if you can get past these issues, this pickup is dynamite!
