DiMarzio HS Prewired Pickguard.
If you are looking for that 70’s tone, the HS pickups will take you there. These Hum free pickups were made famous by Malmsteen and others, looking for the classic sound of the 70’s (think Blackmore i.e.) But any Stratplayer looking for a great fat and distinct sound, will love these.
We think the DiMarzio idea of having everything pre assembled, is fantastic. You can easily update your guitar with not only pickups, but also great electronics, as DM make the best pots around, and use quality switches, jacks and wire. It also makes things easy, when building a new guitar.
The HS™ Strat® Replacement Pickguard features solderless connectors for easy installation in any guitar with a standard 11-hole pickguard. The pickup configuration is an HS-4™ in the neck and middle positions and an HS-3™ in the bridge. The HS-4™ pickups provide plenty of presence and brilliance, particularly on the high strings, with no 60-cycle hum. The HS-3™ is very similar to the HS-4™, with a symmetrical magnet stagger that helps to produce a sweet overdrive tone and no jagged edges. These qualities combine perfectly with a heavily distorted amp because they don’t get muddy or messy. Great for classical 70’s tones.
HS-4
The HS-4™ is the vintage magnet-stagger version of the HS-3™. While there is obviously a strong resemblance to the HS-3™, the vintage stagger recreates the string-balance of single-coils from the 50s, producing a unique sound in the neck and middle positions with both chords and single-note soloing. And there’s no 60-cycle hum.
HS3
The HS-3™ has been the weapon of choice for Strat®-powered classical metal since the early 1980s. Far from being a high-output monster, the HS-3™ is actually a smooth and relatively quiet pickup that produces a sweet overdrive tone without jagged edges. These qualities combine perfectly with a heavily distorted amp, because the sound won’t get muddy or messy. The HS-3™ is also versatile — it’s a noise-free pickup in a live situation or in the studio.
