The Tone Zone S is DiMarzio’s clever take on a humbucker footprint delivering single-coil flexibility. It’s got that Tone Zone punch but with a more focused, slightly brighter character – perfect for modern rock, funk, or players who want a hotter, more aggressive single-coil tone without the hum. It's a great option for Strat or Tele players wanting more power.
