DiMarzio DP156BK Humbucker From Hell Guitar Pickup, Black
Because a conventional humbucker senses the string at two different places, it cancels some frequencies along with the hum. What if there was a humbucker that cancelled fewer frequencies? It would be brighter and cleaner: almost glassy-sounding. In other words, it would sound a lot like a Strat® pickup, but with about the same power as a PAF®. We created The Humbucker From Hell® primarily as a neck pickup. You won’t believe how much it will open up the sound in the neck position of a Gibson® Les Paul®, and it has an almost acoustic quality in the neck spot of a bolt-on guitar. Why is it called The Humbucker From Hell®? Try it in the bridge position with a bright amp — but put in your earplugs first, and don’t say you weren’t warned.
Specifications:
- Recommended For: Neck position in solid body guitars
- Wiring: 4 Conductor
- Magnet: Alnico 5
- Resistance: 5.89 Kohm
- Year of Introduction: 1992
