What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio The Chopper

“The Chopper edged out the ProTrack for me because it was a little clearer (the ProTrack was muddy exactly, but it wasn't as articulate).”

“Had a Chopper T in a mid 90s MIA Tele, killer crunch tone.”

On the Seymour Duncan YJM Fury Bridge (STK-S10B)

“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.”
