What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio HS-3
“The HS-3 bridge sounds warm, the HS-4 neck sounds creamy and 95% of the spank is gone.”
Comparing with DiMarzio HS-4
“I seem to need to drive the mids harder for the HS-3 than I'd like to for the Custom Custom, and I like to drive the Treble harder when using the Custom Custom than is best for the HS-3..”
