Drawing upon the steely, yet woody-sounding tonality of several pickups from the early β60s, DiMarzio has produced a modern version of these vintage gems with no hum and less magnet pull. DiMarzio has been working on serious vintage single-coil design with no hum for eight years, with the goal of capturing the best qualities of guitar pickups from the 1950s and early β60s. The DP416 Area β61 succeeds admirably, is good in all three positions, and is a perfect bridge pickup with a pair of Area β58s if you want to go all the way from Nashville to Texas in one guitar.
Model: DP416W
