Very sweet tone - different from your typical PAF

wgen 10.11.2016

This title says it all: I have this pickup in the neck of a Les Paul guitar, and the tone is just so sweet! But it's much different than your typical PAF:
this EJ Custom has a bright, clear, cutting tone almost like a vintage single coil, which gives your guitar some of the best cleans I've ever heard.
It's not Gretsch, but it's definitely not far from that tone.
The distorted tone isn't creamy like typical PAFs perhaps, but it's still way cool in a completely different way, I think

DiMarzio DP211 Black - A Great Neck Pickup!

Plexi's & gibsons 18.07.2017

What a great Neck Pickup!

This pickup was designed for Eric Johnson, because he found that the neckpickup was to muddy in his Les Paul reissue guitar.

I'm using it in a Gibson 61 ri SG, I love this pickup for the clear sound that it gives. I would suggest this if you find you've got a loss in clarity in your neck pickup!

It sounds a lot like single coil, because one of the coils probably is more there to cancel noise.

All around it's just a great pickup that I would suggest anyone to use!

Avevo bisogno di un pickup da montare al manico di una telecaster, che tuttavia non fosse molto piu potente del singolo al ponte e che fosse chiaro e non intubato. le caratteristiche di questo pickup sul sito di marzio mi incuriosivano non poco, cosi quando si è verificata l'occasione, complice anche un buon prezzo, non ho esitato a comprarlo. E un pickup dal suono quasi da single coil, chiaro, nitido, con basse presenti il giusto. ha una ottima dinamica, si accoppia molto bene con il singolo al ponte (che è leggermente sovravvolto), Mi è piaciuto cosi tanto che sto pensando di comprarne un altro per metterlo anche al manico della les paul. consigliato a chi vuole un suono chiaro e limpido e non ama i suoni intubati che a volte si sentono nelle les paul al manico.

Single-Coil-Charme

Christoph303 30.03.2012

Der DP211 hat schon einen gewissen Single-Coil-Charme á la Fender Neck-Position. Allerdings lässt sich die Herkunft als Humbucker nicht leugnen. Trotz der stark ausgeprägten Höhen, die dem PU eben diesen Charme verleihen, klingt er immer noch sehr bluesig. Übrigens, habe ich den PU in meine PRS Tremonti SE eingebaut, weil mir der Original-PU zu mulmig klang. Es ist auf jeden Fall eine klare Aufwertung.

Von der Verarbeitung her ginge es vielleicht noch einen Tick besser, aber bei dem Preis darf man kaum meckern. Einzig und allein die mitgelieferte Installations-Anleitung ist recht unübersichtlich. Beim Wiring-Diagram ist Seymour Duncan doch um Längen besser.

Dennoch, ein sehr guter PU mit klarem Sound, so wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe.
