DiMarzio Satch Track
Hot, tight and aggressive, with scooped mids, a dark top end and tight lows.
Hotter than 61% of the 153 neck 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
- Darker than a typical DiMarzio
- Tighter lows than a typical DiMarzio
“I'd go with Satch track for the neck rail choice over the chopper, little less bass & smidge more clarity but very close tonally.”

“Meanwhile, the neck pickup is expected to handle everything from glassy cleans to singing lead tones without turning into a muddy mess.”
“Its ceramic magnet and moderate 245mV output place it well below many modern high gain designs, allowing it to retain clarity while still offering enough authority to stand alongside full size humbuckers.”
