The Red Velvet is a clever little pickup – DiMarzio's taking a Strat bridge position and giving it a serious Tele vibe. It’s got a great attack and sings beautifully, making it perfect for players wanting a little extra grit without going full-on hot-rodded. A really solid choice for blues, rock, and country players who like a bit of edge.
Product Description
DiMarzio DP174BK, Red Velvet Single Coil
The DiMarzio Red Velvet expands the already very versatile sound variations of the Stratocaster around the punch and singing typical of Telecaster pickups. This is achieved by a metal plate at the bottom of the pickup, which enhances the magnetic field and adds to the typical 'Tele klang'. A bit more on the attack delivers the promised punch, more windings the singing. The Red Velvet is primarily suitable as a bridge pickup in combination with the Blue Velvet, but it is also quite conceivable for use on the neck and middle position in combination with a 'hotter colleague' at the bridge!
, Good punch in the middle range, Very clear treble, Colour: Black
- • Metal plate enhances magnetic field, delivering a Tele-esque 'bark'.
- • Increased windings provide a singing, vocal-like midrange character.
- • Well-suited for Stratocasters seeking a Tele bridge pickup's punch.
- • Black cover provides a classic, versatile aesthetic for various guitars.
- • Might be too aggressive for players seeking a purely scooped Strat tone.
- • While versatile, truly shines as a bridge pickup – other positions limited.
- • The metal plate can slightly alter the pickup’s feel and resonance.
