What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Dominion
“I kind of liken the Dominion bridge to a Tone Zone without the boomy bass response, and a little bit quicker and direct.”
“The Dominion has a tighter low end and more of a low mid push compared to the Super D, it is still more than capable for the classic rock thing.”
