What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Muscle T
“Those early Tele single coils define what many call “twang”: crisp attack, bright highs, and a certain snap in the mids.”
“Notes hit hard, mids stay full, and highs smooth out without losing detail.”
On the DiMarzio Twang King
“The twang king in my kotzen very bassy with a real harsh top end.”
“From examples and reports I could find online, the Twang King bridge seems bright with an extra helping of "twang", as its name implies.”
