The DP156FBK is a clever pickup—it gives you a surprisingly clean, single-coil vibe without the hum. It's a great option for players who want a vintage-style tone in an LP-style guitar, especially when paired with a hotter bridge pickup. This is a solid choice for classic rock, blues, and even some lighter jazz styles.

Product Description

DiMarzio DP156FBK, Humbucker from Hell

  • Humbucker from Hell
  • this is clearly a misleading of the authorities. Because the DP156 is not
  • as the name suggests
  • a super hot humbucker
  • but a pickup
  • which wants to use the advantages a humbucker - no side noise
  • higher output - but do not want to do without the clear sound a single coil.

For the bridge and neck position. By combining the DP156 at the neck with a "hot" humbucker at the bridge, you will be pleased to find that the two complete each other excellently. A real single coil sound from a LP-style guitar and without the annoying hum, that is an interesting alternative! F-spaced!, Ideal for neck position, F-Spaced, Colour: Black

PROS
  • • Excellent noise rejection characteristic for clean, hum-free performance.
  • • Delivers a surprisingly articulate single-coil-like tone in a humbucker format.
  • • F-spacing makes it ideal for Les Paul neck positions and vintage-style guitars.
  • • Combines well with hotter bridge pickups for a balanced tonal spectrum.
CONS
  • • Output level might be too low for players seeking a very high-gain sound.
  • • F-spacing limits compatibility with some modern, tighter-spaced guitar designs.
  • • Black plastic casing can look a little plain compared to some premium options.
