What players and reviewers say

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.

On the Seymour Duncan Black Winter

Punchy and controlled lows with edgy and focused mids and highs.

Seymour's neck models are more known for that more traditional fuller neck voice that can often times be big in the lows and sweet in the highs.
