DiMarzio Virtual
Vintage BluesTM
DP 402
The new DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Strat replacement pickups are extraordinary. In side-by- side comparisons, the sound of the Virtual Vintage is almost identical to an original pre-'63 Strat pickup. The difference is that we have eliminated the noise. We've kept all the attack, tone and feel that make Strats so famous and highly valued. What's more, we've preserved the original single-coil look. This is the pickup that everyone who loves the Strat sound has been waiting for.
If vintage is your goal but hum has always gotten in your way, the search is over. Virtually.
Recommended For:
All positions.
Tech Talk:
The Blues model is a more muscular pickup than the standard DP401. Unlike thinner-sounding single-coils, it stands up to hard picking - the sound seems to expand through an overdriven amp instead of shrinking away. This quality is really useful for the neck position, particularly if you have a thin-sounding guitar or use light-gauge strings. With warmer-sounding guitars, it's a strong, tough-sounding bridge pickup. Like the DP401, we recommend using 500K controls for best results. For an even bigger and brighter sound, try our 1Meg tone control.
