DiMarzio HS-2TM DP116
Warmer and slightly more powerful than an HS-1TM, HS-2TM pickups are solid neck and middle position choices for guitars with a full-size humbucker in the bridge position. The HS-2TM pickups natural tone blends well with humbuckers, making a smooth transition when switching from rhythm to single-note picking. Using the HS-2TM also eliminates the annoying problem of switching from a quiet humbucking to a noisy single-coil pickup. A little-known secret about the HS-2 : Eric Johnson has discovered that wiring an HS-2TM for single-coil operation creates one of the best vintage tones around.
Like all HSTM series pickups, low noise, hum-cancelling HS-2TMs work well through high-gain racks and amps where any pickup noise is multiplied through preamps and effects chains.
Recommended For:
All positions.
Tech Talk:
In the classic Strat configuration, the HS-2TM works in all 3 positions. It can also be part of a calibrated set, with the HS-1TM (neck), HS-2 (middle) and HS-3 (bridge). The HS-2TM also works in H-S-H combinations, recommended with PAF Pro®, Fred, Air ClassicTM and Humbucker From Hell® in neck and bridge positions.
