DiMarzio DP402 Virtual Vintage Blues Pickup - Aged White, Hum Canceling Single Coil

The DiMarzio DP402 Virtual Vintage Blues Pickup in Aged White is designed for guitarists seeking a powerful and warm sound from their Strat® style instruments. This hum-canceling single coil pickup offers more strength and richness compared to typical single-coils, making it ideal for blues music. Key features of the Virtual Vintage Blues Pickup include: - Enhanced power and warmth for a fuller tone. - Excellent performance under hard picking conditions, with sound that expands rather than shrinks when played through an overdriven amp. - Versatile placement; recommended for the bridge position, but can also be used in the neck and middle positions to complement a full-size bridge humbucker. - Ideal for thin-sounding guitars, helping to achieve a fatter tone in the neck position. - Made with Alnico 5 magnets and features a resistance of 8.18 Kohm. - Quick Connect No Wiring with 4 conductor wiring for easy installation. The Virtual Vintage Blues Pickup is part of the renowned Virtual Vintage® family, known for its dead quiet operation with minimal hum. For optimal performance, DiMarzio recommends using 500K controls for an extended frequency response, though 250K controls can be utilized for a warmer tone. This pickup was introduced in 1997 and remains a popular choice for guitarists looking to enhance their blues sound with a robust and dynamic pickup option.
