DiMarzio Fast Track 1

Low output, tight and aggressive, with scooped mids, a bright top end and tight lows.

Hotter than 18% of the 365 Strat single-coils we have · estimated from resistance

  • Ceramic magnet: the strongest pull: tight lows and a sharp attack
  • Fewer mids than a typical DiMarzio
  • Brighter than a typical DiMarzio
  • Tighter lows than a typical DiMarzio

“The rails configuration hears a little wider aperture and can shave a little top end off, although the Cruisers and Fast Track 1 are pretty bright.”
