What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Fast Track 2
“The crunch factor is top notch and is excellent for 80s riff-rock and modern extreme tight chugging.”
On the Seymour Duncan JB Jr. (SJBJ-1)
“It is actually voiced much better for punch and clarity in a neck position that one might expect.”
“Sort of that sweet spot if you think the Hot Rail neck has too much brawn and the Little 59 neck has too much spank.”
