Dimarzio Twang KingTM Neck Model DP172

 

This is the neck half of DiMarzio's first pair of matched Tele replacement pickups. We build each Twang King by hand with exclusive winding techniques that give the guitar more attack while keeping that famous single-coil sound. It delivers the finest vintage sound combined with improved string balance and solid DiMarzio construction. The Twang King comes with a cover installed, and its dipped in wax after final assembly for quiet performance.

Recommended For:

Standard Tele neck position.

Tech Talk:

We didnt model the Twang King neck pickup after a specific original because, honestly, we never found one we were 100% happy with. We were aiming for big, clean lows and highs, and we wanted the pickup to be able to handle a very wide dynamic range, so the sound would clean up with soft picking and really open up with a harder attack.
