DiMarzioDP 188BK Pro Track Black

I love this pickup. Since I installed it on the neck position of my guitar I've never stopped using it. It has a really clear, full and warm sound overall, perfect for clean and overdriven chords. Really good balance when combining with the middle single coil pickup specially for clean rhythm guitar parts or odd, kind of "unique sounding" colorful leads.Pretty versatile, works very good for jazz and hard rock soloing, always with a warm touch to it.Its sound it's not as thick as a full-size humbucker but definitely not as thin as a sinle coil. It surely is closer to a humbucker sound but you'll never have that exact thickness and color from these "mini humbuckers". It doesn't mean it sounds bad, on the contrary, they have a different tone character wich can be used for every music genre.Really good pickup.

I bought this to replace a 1980's vintage DiMarzio Brian May single coil pup at the neck of my custom made HSS "Zatocaster." The old pup just died one day, showing an open circuit on the coil. So I needed a single coil form factor but wanted a bit of humbucker sound (and quiet) as well. I wired it with a push-pull tone pot to allow series or parallel operation. Series mode is very quiet, and parallel is only slightly noisy near fluorescent lights. The tone and output level are as expected, and it works well when paralleled with a Brian May at the middle position, and also with one coil of a Lawrence L-500 humbucker at the bridge. DmMarzio makes good gear, and I'm very satisfied.

Great tone in a single coil replacement, and dead quiet.

The media could not be loaded.  I have used this pickup for about 4 years now. This pickup does it all. I have recorded blues songs, metal, jazz, contemporary. It has tone for days! I use it with my Boss GT 100 for an uber versatile set up with sounds for many genres. Here is a thrashy kinda demo with metal rhythm tones and a saturated lead tone so you can hear how quiet these guys are with high-gain sounds. I have the white covers on these, but it is the same pickup as the black covered ones, in case you weren't sure.

I changed all the stock pickups from a cheap Yamaha Eterna EG-303 and installed this one in middle position. The difference is outstanding. With stock pickups, the higher pitch strings sounded horrible when using distortion, now the guitar sounds great at every portion of the neck. If you can't afford an expensive guitar, changing stock pickups from a modest guitar is an easy way to get a nice sound - and this one provides a realy nice one.It's important to note that the output of these pickups is extremely high. I use mine very far from the strings, to avoid distortion.

the sound is amazing and very very low noise with my gt8 sound great.
