DiMarzio DP-154BK DLX Plus Bridge Soapbar Guitar Pickup, Cream

Responding to a special request from Eric Johnson, DiMarzio crafted this pickup to mimic the sound of an old Gretsch Country Gentlemen guitar. It's an ideal replacement for standard, full - size humbuckers, without losing any tonal complexity. The sound is bright and lively, with a strong and steady presence that never gets too thin. You might easily think it's a Stratocaster pickup, but this humbucker has its own unique character. It sounds amazing with heavy distortion and on the lower frequencies, free from any muddiness. The EJ Custom stands out with its high treble response, more than vintage - style humbuckers. It's comparable to typical single - coils but has a smoother texture. Placed in the bridge position, this humbucker is great for chords and finger - picking. It also offers excellent clarity for solos, even under extreme distortion.

Using this DiMarzio pickup is easy. Just install it in the bridge position of your guitar as you would with a regular humbucker. When playing, you'll notice its great response for chords, finger - picking, and solos. For the best results, try different levels of distortion to explore its wide tonal range. As for maintenance, keep it clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you need to store it, put it in a dry and cool place. And remember, although it's very durable, handle it with care to ensure it lasts a long time.
