What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio SDS-1
“I tried an old Dimarzio SDS-1 in the bridge and while I liked the output, it had way too much midrange and not quite enough highs for my taste.”
“However if you put short fillister screws in the SDS-1 the highs become round/fat/sweet, the midrange is meaty and the bass is solid.”
