DiMarzio - Twang King Bridge - Black - DP173BK
When we decided to go for the vintage TeleĀ® sound, we knew we had to do more than just copy a vintage design. We wanted pickups that captured the best elements of our favorite BroadcasterĀ® and TelecasterĀ® sounds ā and then some. The Twang Kingā¢ pickups have unequalled response to pick attack: light playing produces a soft, quiet tone and hard picking creates a harder, louder, and more dynamic sound than any comparable single-coil. We accomplished this with a combination of controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire, and hand-calibrated magnets. The neck pickup comes with a chrome cover, and the bridge model has a ferrous base plate. Both pickups are wax-potted twice for squeal-free performance.
We didn't model the Twang Kingā¢ bridge after a specific original. Instead, we combined the best tonal qualities of several BroadcasterĀ® and TelecasterĀ® pickups from the 50s and early 60s. We were aiming for a balance between big, clean lows and fatter-sounding highs, and we wanted the pickup to be able to handle a very wide dynamic range, so the sound would clean up with soft picking and really open up with a harder attack.
Recommended For: Standard TeleĀ® bridge position.
Quick Connect: No
Wiring: 2 Conductor
Magnet: Alnico 5
Resistance: 8.07 Kohm
Year of Introduction:1995
