What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio Fast Track 1

“The rails configuration hears a little wider aperture and can shave a little top end off, although the Cruisers and Fast Track 1 are pretty bright.”

On the DiMarzio Satch Track

“I'd go with Satch track for the neck rail choice over the chopper, little less bass & smidge more clarity but very close tonally.”

“Meanwhile, the neck pickup is expected to handle everything from glassy cleans to singing lead tones without turning into a muddy mess.”
