Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The DP153F-BK is a fantastic upgrade for players wanting a more articulate and aggressive PAF-style humbucker. It's got a modern edge, retaining that classic warmth but with a tighter, more focused sound – perfect for rock, blues-rock, and even heavier styles where you need to be heard. Joe Satriani’s prototype lineage speaks volumes about its lead-playing capabilities.
Product Description
DiMarzio DP153F-BK, The Fred Humbucker
- The Fred DiMarzio is basically a PAF humbucker
- however
- this one puts it up a notch. Significantly tighter in the central region as well as the overtones
- it asserts itself excellently and fits perfectly into the modern soundscape. In addition
- the Fred naturally responds very sensitively to the attack of the guitarist
- dynamic play is accentuated. The Fred began his career as a prototype for Joe Satriani
- probably not a bad witness for modern lead sounds!
, Very fat sound, Ideal for the 60-Sound, Colour: Black (Illustration similar)
