What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio Bluesbucker

Because once you plug in and unleash it, this pickup delivers a unique blend of clarity, bite, and vintage soul that cuts through a mix.

Now pair that with highs that pack a rich, punchy bite while still delivering enough cut to slice right through any mix.

On the DiMarzio Dominion

The low end is big and punchy, while retaining control and articulation to keep things tight without getting too stiff.
Darth Phineas · Nov 10, 2021Darth Phineas (opens in a new tab)
You get highs that are big and present with edge to spare, so that you can get your squeals and bite without being an ice pick.
