What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Satch Track
“I'd go with Satch track for the neck rail choice over the chopper, little less bass & smidge more clarity but very close tonally.”
“Meanwhile, the neck pickup is expected to handle everything from glassy cleans to singing lead tones without turning into a muddy mess.”
On the DiMarzio The Cruiser
“I'd sooner look at a Cruiser or Fast Track 2 for the neck, unless you want the guitar to have a thick and creamy tone by default.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Fast Track 2
“The mids speak clearly, and the top end rolls off just enough to keep things sweet.”
