What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Injector
“I hear good things about the Injector models that Paul Gilbert uses currently, those have smoky midrange and singing sustain..”
“The Injector has a little tighter low end, more, stiffer mid range, and an equally smooth high end.”
On the Fender Vintage Noiseless Strat
“They're actually designed by Bill Lawrence, and I really like his noiseless Strat pickups (they don't really sound vintage-y, but very clear and articulate)..”
