Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The DP223FN is a seriously solid choice if you're chasing a vintage-voiced bridge humbucker. It's got that classic DiMarzio warmth and clarity, perfect for blues, rock, and country players who want a bit more bite than a P-90 but aren’t after the shred-level output of something modern. It’s a real workhorse pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Super Distortion is significantly hotter and more aggressive; the FN is much more balanced and vintage-voiced, lacking the Distortion’s high-output punch.
Absolutely, it will be a great upgrade for a Les Paul, delivering a more authentic vintage bridge tone than many stock pickups.
Like any nickel plating, it can show wear over time, but the DiMarzio finish is durable and resists scratches better than some others I've seen.
