DiMarzio DP156 FBK The Humbucker From Hell neck guitar pickup

DiMarzio DP156 FBK The Humbucker From Hell

Because a conventional humbucker senses the string at two different places, it cancels some frequencies along with the hum. What if there was a humbucker that cancelled fewer frequencies? It would be brighter and cleaner: almost glassy-sounding. In other words, it would sound a lot like a Strat® pickup, but with about the same power as a PAF. DM created The Humbucker From Hell primarily as a neck pickup. You won’t believe how much it will open up the sound in the neck position of a Gibson Les Paul, and it has an almost acoustic quality in the neck spot of a bolt-on guitar. Why is it called The Humbucker From Hell? Try it in the bridge position with a bright amp — but put in your earplugs first, and don’t say you weren’t warned.
