What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio Pro Track

“I prefer the FS2 for its midrange and clarity, but I also like the Tone Zone S more for the bridge and the Pro Track for the middle and neck to be honest.”

“There is a dimarzio pro track in the neck which seems to work well, it will stay as it marries the quack with the humbucker fullness when I roll back the tone knob..”
