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..”
On the Seymour Duncan YJM Fury Neck (STK-S10N)
“Your garden variety classic single coil pickup is more scooped in the mids and almost a little hollow-sounding.”
“The highs are just bright enough, while retaining a little bit of a smooth quality.”
