We believe the Area 58™ and Area 61™ are a major step forward in the performance of hum-canceling Strat® replacement pickups. The research and technology that went into these models has allowed us to make a similar advance with Telecaster® replacement pickups. The Area T™ Bridge does what a great Tele® bridge pickup is supposed to do: the highs sing, the lows snap, and the mids have a punch that’s almost unreal. https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/stacked-hum-canceling-tele/area-t-bridge -
The Monterey Pop Festival of 1967 was a watershed event in American music. When it was over, the world had heard and felt the sound of a Strat® in the hands of a master. Single-coils in 1967 were bright and very clean. And, of course, they hummed. We've captured the classic bright and clean sound but totally eliminated the hum with our patented Area™ technology. We've also reduced magnet pull by 40% for improved sustain and clarity. The Area 67™ has the chime of 60s pickups, and the 2 and 4 positions are light, bright and quack-happy. -

Recommended For: Bridge positionQuick Connect: NoWiring: 4 ConductorMagnet: Alnico 5We've combined the best qualities of the Virtual Vintage® Solo and Virtual Vintage® Solo Pro™ — high output and a full, warm sound — and pushed these qualities even further. Treble response is smoother, the lows are tighter, and there is more pick attack. Play hard, and the sound jumps out of the amp. Play softer, and the sound becomes cleaner and quieter. Naturally, there's no hum. See more: https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/stacked-hum-canceling-strat/virtual-soloResistance: 11.17 Kohm -
Recommended For: Standard Tele® bridge position.Quick Connect: NoWiring: 4 ConductorMagnet: Alnico 2What would a Tele® bridge pickup sound like if it had the same EQ as a vintage PAF®? If you’re a Tele® player and you think this is an interesting question, we have the answer: it’s the Area Hot T™ Bridge. Because it has the classic Tele® 6-magnet configuration, it’s not simply a PAF® reduced to Tele® size. The sound is more detailed and controlled. The plain strings both sing and sting, and the wound strings have a dynamic quality that’s halfway between a humbucker and a P90. The Area Hot T™ Bridge uses Alnico 2 magnets like our other Area™ models, and works well with either 250K or 500K controls.Resistance: 9.33 Kohm -
The Muscle T™ Neck retains all the dynamic response of a good early sixties Tele® pickup but adds more of the glassy sparkle that Tele® neck pickups always lacked. Our Muscle T™ Neck has been carefully calibrated with more volume and presence to keep up with the needs of modern players, and the overall musical character delivers a better string-to-string balance for rhythms that cut and precise soloing. Each pickup is individually hand-wound and tested in our New York City factory. https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/standard-tele/muscle-t-neck -
Recommended For: The Super PAF® Ceramic is primarily a bridge position pickup, although it can be used in the neck position with a relatively low-gain amp. Specifically designed for solid-bodies: hollow and semi-hollow guitars can be hard to control with warm, high output pickups.Quick Connect: NoWiring: 4 ConductorMagnet: CeramicThe legendary pickup that put high-output ceramic humbuckers on the map, now available with a vintage PAF® look, without the adjustable Pole pieces. This design blends in with classic pickup designs. The Super Distortion® started a sound revolution. Replacement pickups simply didn’t exist before the invention of the Super Distortion® in the early Seventies. The Super Distortion® (and its original 3-conductor version, the Dual Sound®) was the first pickup specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive, and is still the standard by which all other high-output pickups are measured. The Super Distortion® has a perfect blend of power and tone: both single-notes and chords jump out of the amp and fill the room (or the track) with a wall of sound. The balance of tones is classic — thick, boosted mids, big lows and fat highs. This is the sound you’ve heard for five decades on platinum records, from players as varied as Ace Frehley, Al Di Meola, Phil Collen, Tom Scholz, and Paul Gilbert.

DiMarzio Prewired Harness for Les Paul The heart of this drop-in prewired Les Paul® harness is the custom designed 500K long shaft pot. First introduced over 45 years ago, it’s neither a linear nor audio taper pot -- it's DiMarzio's custom taper. To further increase reliability, DM make the center shaft and threaded parts from solid machined brass instead of cheap castings. The kit includes a Switchcraft® selector switch (with both black and cream tips) and output jack. DiMarzio wiring harnesses are all hand assembled and tested in the USA using lead free silver solder and the best sound-tested parts. DM chose Mod® .022 mf oil filed capacitors for their softer, smoother roll off on the tone controls, and include vintage-style shielded cloth wire. *Please note: these are direct replacements for the standard 3/8-inch (9.525mm) holes found on most Gibson® guitars.

DiMarzio Area Prewired Pickguard. The Area™ Strat® Replacement Pickguard offers a buffet of vintage tones, and a great mix of models, each dedicated to their position. The Area pickguard features solderless connectors for easy installation in any guitar with a standard 11-hole pickguard. The pickup configuration for the Area™ Pickguard is an Area 58™ neck / Area 67™ middle / Area 61™ bridge combination for great vintage sounds with no hum. The Area ‘58™ offers excellent treble response and dynamics with low magnet-pull and the warm, woody tone of late-50s single-coils. In the middle position, the Area ‘67™ pushes sounds like the single-coil pickups of the late ‘60s—bright and very clean, with reduced magnet pull for improved sustain, clarity, and enhanced quack in the 2 and 4 positions. Finally, the Area ‘61™ in the bridge position brings a steely but warm sound to the table. As with the other two pickups, the Area ‘61™ eliminates hum and features reduced magnet pull. Combined in the Area™ Strat Replacement Pickguard, these 3 pickups create a unique and undeniably vintage tone.

DiMarzio Area Prewired Tele Kit The Area Tele pickups are among he very best T pickups available in the market. The Area T™ Pre-wired Pickup Set for Tele® includes the Area T™ Neck and Area T™ Bridge pickups, control plate, knobs, and complete wiring harness featuring solderless installation. The Area T™ Bridge does what a great Tele® bridge pickup is supposed to do: the highs sing, the lows snap and the mids have a punch that's almost unreal. It tracks changes in pick attack and volume, and it does so instantly. It's also very sensitive to string distance. The volume is very high when the pickup is close to the strings, but can be adjusted much lower by backing the Area T™ away from the strings. String pull is not a problem with the Alnico 2 magnets that are standard on the Area T™ Bridge. The Area T™ Neck has the combination of clarity and warmth that Tele® players have always sought, and our patented design allows us to utilize a vintage Tele® cover with no sacrifice in sound. The contrast between a warm neck pickup tone and a biting bridge pickup sound is a Tele® hallmark, but it's hard to achieve if the neck pickup is muddy. The Area T™ Neck model has a very smooth tone, but its ability to remain clear even with heavy overdrive is an essential quality of the Area™ design Component List: DIMARZIO CUSTOM TAPER POTENTIOMETERS - 250K SPRAGUE ORANGE DROP CAPACITOR - .022UF, 100VOLT GAVITT VINTAGE HOOKUP WIRE - 22 GAUGE CRL THREE-WAY SWITCH DP418 (Area T) Bridge DP417C (Area T) Neck -

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.

Out of stockDiMarzio Twang King Prewired Tele Kit This pre-wired, drop-in pickup assembly for Tele® includes a Twang King™ Bridge, a Twang King™ Neck pickup, control plate, knobs and a complete wiring harness featuring solderless installation. The Twang King™ pickups are a result of our pursuit for the best elements in a classic Broadcaster® and Telecaster® sound, and then some. The Twang King™ Bridge and Neck pickups have unequaled response to pick attack: light playing produces a soft, quiet tone while hard picking creates a harder, louder more dynamic sound than any comparable single-coil. We accomplished this with a combination of controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire and hand-calibrated magnets. We wax-pot these pickups twice for squeal-free performance. The Twang Kings™ produce big, clean lows and highs, yet are able to handle a very wide dynamic range so the sound cleans up with soft picking yet really opens up with harder pick attack.

The DiMarzio Wiring Harness prewired drop-in Tele® control plate, makes upgrading your guitar a lot easier. It all starts with the choice of a .022 Sprague orange drop capacitor added to a pair of DiMarzio-designed custom taper pots. This assembly makes upgrading your Tele® seamless and requires minimal soldering. All is mounted on a Tele control plate, and ready to go. DiMarzio pots were first built over 45 years ago, and DM wanted them to have the smooth feel and graduated taper found on some vintage 50s guitars. Using a 10-step rotary switch, DiMarzio created a taper that works with DiMarzio pickups. It’s neither a linear nor audio taper pot -- it's DiMarzio's custom taper. To further increase reliability, the center shaft and threaded parts are made from solid machined brass instead of cheap castings. We’ve sound tested dozens of capacitors from various suppliers, too, and our winner is clear: the Sprague. All wiring is done with cloth-covered vintage style 22-gauge push back wire, making all the final connections easier. DiMarzio prewired circuits are all hand assembled and tested in the USA, and each one features the best sound-tested parts available. -
