The DP381W is a clever little pickup – it gives you that extra push for rock and country without losing the Tele’s core identity. It's perfect for players who want more gain without completely abandoning that classic Tele snap and bite. A solid upgrade for those wanting more power in their bridge position.

Product Description

DiMarzio DP381W, Fast Track Tele Pickup

The Fast Track Tele is a humbucker with juxtaposed coils in single coil format. It brings a lot more output without losing the classic dynamic "crispy and punchy" tele sound. This makes it the ideal bridge pickup for tele players who would like a little more gain and power but do not want to do without their beloved "twang"., Humbucker for the lead position, For all Telecaster and Esquire guitars, Colour: White

PROS
  • • Delivers increased output without sacrificing Telecaster’s characteristic twang and clarity.
  • • Juxtaposed coil design effectively cancels hum, providing a quieter signal.
  • • White ceramic magnet contributes to a tighter, more articulate low-end response.
  • • Fits standard Telecaster routing, simplifying installation for most players.
CONS
  • • May lack the very airiest, most delicate high-end response of traditional Tele pickups.
  • • Ceramic magnet tone isn't for players seeking a vintage, warmer alnico sound.
  • • Coil splitting is limited; doesn't achieve a truly convincing single-coil tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s stiffer and more responsive than a vintage Tele bridge; the ceramic magnet reduces the ‘floaty’ feel and provides more immediate response to picking attack.
It should integrate well; however, the increased output might clash with very low-output neck pickups, so consider that when pairing.
It's a compromise. The coil split is more of a higher-output single-coil approximation than a genuine single-coil tone due to the humbucker construction.
