Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Twang King is a fantastic option for Tele players chasing that quintessential vintage twang, but with a bit more punch than the originals. It's a great upgrade for players who want a warmer, more drivable neck pickup for blues, country, or classic rock – a real workhorse pickup at a reasonable price.
Product Description
DiMarzio DP172 CHR Twang King, Pickup for T-Style models
The DiMarzio Tele-Twang King brings the classic twang sound that we know and love of the older Fender single coils from Telecaster and Broadcaster. The neck pickup produces bell-like highs and a nice attack, and due to the slightly higher than the original output power, the sound remains warm and round - expect, for example, a blissful blues sound.
, Chrome cover, Twang King, Neck pickup with vintage sound
- • Delivers that classic Fender Tele twang, noticeably warmer than vintage originals.
- • Alnico 5 magnets provide articulate highs and a defined, focused midrange.
- • Chrome cover offers a vintage aesthetic and protects the delicate windings.
- • Slightly higher output drives amps better for a more present, bluesy tone.
- • May be too bright for players seeking a very mellow, scooped Tele tone.
- • Limited versatility; shines in T-style guitars, less ideal for other setups.
- • While affordable, it won’t match the nuance of higher-end boutique pickups.
