Di Marzio DP162 / DLX Plus Neck (cream)

When DiMarzio first decided to introduce a humbucking replacement for the "soapbar" and mini-humbucker, we found that many players wanted a pickup with more power and definition. We wanted to preserve some of the clean and open character of the original soapbar, so we reduced the mids on the DLX Plus a little while making the lows tight and punchy and the highs strong and defined. The result is that the DLX Plus has power, but it's not muddy sounding. The Neck model has almost as much power as the Bridge model, with a leaner bass response so low notes sound more defined. Both come with 4-conductor cable for coil-splitting and parallel options. We designated the DP162 a neck model because the low end is a little tighter and brighter than the DP154, so the two pickups function together as a gently calibrated set. However, it's also a pretty nasty bridge pickup - this is our production version of the mysterious Yamaha Q100, which is in both positions on the AES 1500. Cover dimensions: 3.38" x 1.38" x 0.75" (86 x 35 x 19 mm).
