The DP182 Fast Track2 is a seriously powerful bridge pickup in a single-coil format—perfect for players who want aggressive lead tones without a full-sized humbucker’s size. It's a great option for rock, punk, or anything needing a little extra bite and sustain, especially in Strat-style guitars.

Product Description

Frequently Asked Questions

It's noticeably hotter than a Super Distortion, but lacks the Super Distortion’s broader frequency response; it’s more focused on the midrange and upper harmonics.
While it *can* be used in the neck, the high output and midrange emphasis might create an unbalanced sound with a more typical Strat bridge pickup; consider carefully.
It will definitely introduce a different sonic character – expect a brighter, more aggressive tone. It’s a matter of preference, but the contrast will be noticeable.
