What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio The Chopper
“Thick mids, tight lows, and a crystal top end make The Chopper a tone machine with attitude.”
“Mids roar with punch, lows stay tight and powerful, and highs cut through the mix without harshness.”
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.”
