DiMarzio DP415 Area '58 Single Coil Electric Guitar Pickup
There are two major differences between a great vintage Strat® pickup and an average one: treble response and dynamics. A great pickup is clear and bright, but not thin-sounding. A great one makes the sound jump out of the amp when you pick hard and drop way down when you play softly, and the tone varies when the string is picked at different spots. The best pickup ever heard like this was from 1958, and that’s what inspired the Area ’58™, with two major differences. This pickup has way less magnet pull, and virtually no hum.
Recommended For: neck and middle, can also be used in bridge
Tech Talk: The Area ’58™ has obvious similarities to the Virtual Vintage® 2.1 it replaces, but there are several non-visible performance factors that have changed. Dynamic range and string definition are greatly increased, leading to improvements in both clean chord-playing and overdriven soloing. The ’58™ is very sensitive to small height adjustment differences: close to the strings produces a fatter, slightly compressed blues tone and further away yields crystal clean sounds.
