Dimarzio DP182 Fast Track 2 vs Fender American Standard Strat pickup
G&L Legacy Tribute - DiMarzio Fast Track 2 (Dp182) / Test Lead Guitar
“The crunch factor is top notch and is excellent for 80s riff-rock and modern extreme tight chugging.”
“Fast Track 2 would be another big, thick, smooth option with output to match.”
“Also, Fast Track 2 has that midrange hump of Fred, but is just a tad hotter.”
“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.”
