    The best of Strat and Tele sound in one pickup.

    The difference between a vintage Strat bridge pickup sound and a classic Broadcaster or Tele tone is mostly a matter of attack and definition - the Strat stings and screams, while the Tele punches and sings. DiMarzio thought it would be neat to have a Strat pickup that does both, and this is it. The punch comes from the bottom-loaded Power Plate, the sting from custom coil-winding and the Blue Velvet magnet stagger, and a unique mid-range "growl" that's a result of a hand-calibrated magnet structure. Try a Red Velvet bridge pickup with a pair of Blue Velvet pickups for a sound that's both classic and new.

    Recommended for all positions.

    Tech Talk: One of the obvious effects of mounting a plate on the bottom of a pickup is to boost the magnetic field. DiMarzio wanted the bigger sound that the plate provides, but they didn't want any increased magnet-pull, so they calibrate the magnetic field of every Red Velvet after it's assembled. The Red Velvet was originally designed for the bridge position, but it will also work well in the neck and middle, where it can be combined with a bridge humbucker like the Air Classic.

    Comments about DiMarzio Red Velvet Pickup:

    I have a mid 80's Aria Pro and the stock pickups were o.k. but I just wanted more umph. I decided to give these a try in the bridge position to try it out and if I liked then I would go from there. I almost bought the Seymour SSL5 because i've used those for years but tryed this instead. It is definelty better than stock and had good pick attack sound. It plays along with you. Not quite as beefy as the SSL-5 custom staggered but very nice sound. Not an extreme output either 8.5K but a very good pickup. I'm probably going to move this to the neck position though and add a Antiquity Texas Hot in the bridge and an Antiquity Surf rwrp in the middle.
