The full story

Description

The DiMarzio DP218 Super Distortion S Pickup in Red is a high-performance humbucking pickup designed specifically for the slanted bridge position of Stratocaster-style guitars. Building on the legacy of the original Super Distortion, this model delivers the same powerful tone and output that has made it a standard in the world of high-output pickups.

Key features of the Super Distortion S include:

- **4-Conductor Wiring**: This allows for versatile installation options, enabling both parallel humbucking and split-coil modes.

- **Optimized Specs**: Adjustments have been made to the original Super Distortion design to enhance treble response and tighten bass response, making it ideal for the classic slanted bridge position.

- **Single-Coil Sound**: When split, the Super Distortion S provides a robust single-coil tone that avoids the brittleness often associated with dual-blade replacements.

- **Recommended Use**: Primarily designed for the bridge position in solid body guitars, it can also be used in the neck and middle positions.

Specifications:

- **Magnet**: Ceramic

- **Resistance**: 13.18 kOhm

- **Year of Introduction**: 2005

- **Tone Guide**:

- Bass: 6.5

- Low Mid: 7.0

- High Mid: 6.5

- Treble: 2.5

The DiMarzio DP218 Super Distortion S Pickup is an excellent choice for guitarists seeking to enhance their sound with a powerful and versatile pickup that maintains the classic character of their instrument.
