DiMarzio Red Velvet Single Coil Guitar Pickup

The difference between a vintage Strat bridge pickup sound and a classic Broadcaster or Tele tone is mostly a matter of attack and definition - the Strat stings and screams, while the Tele punches and sings.

DiMarzio thought it would be neat to have a Strat pickup that does both, and this is it.

The punch comes from the bottom-loaded Power Plate, the sting from custom coil-winding and the Blue Velvet magnet stagger, and a unique mid-range "growl" that's a result of a hand-calibrated magnet structure.

Try a Red Velvet bridge pickup with a pair of Blue Velvet pickups for a sound that's both classic and new.
