What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio The Chopper T
“Had a Chopper T in a mid 90s MIA Tele, killer crunch tone.”
Comparing with DiMarzio The Chopper
“I suppose the Dimarzio Chopper T is an option, but I've used them before and while great, they lean more towards the bright side of the spectrum than fat..”
On the Seymour Duncan Little '59 (ST59-1B)
“In this particular guitar, the little 59 is hollow sounding, bright and lacks output..”
“I like the 59 too, but the SL seems to punch the mids out there a little more, and it's still slightly warmer, maybe due partially to the nickel cover.”
