Overview

Distinctive tone!

A nontraditional approach to high-output bridge humbucking guitar pickup design. Most hot humbuckers concentrate the pickup's power in a narrow frequency range for maximum impact. The DiMarzio Special spreads the sound over a broader range so bass and treble tones are boosted and midrange is lowered. The result is a sound that's hot, clean, and open at the same time. Recommended for bridge position.

Features

Clean overdrive with high-gain amps
Very effective in dual sound and coil-splitting clean modes
For soloing, this is a very good pickup to play with a midrange-heavy amp
Mid-scoop keeps the initial pick attack clean; notes don't run together as much with legato playing, even with heavy overdrive
