DiMarzio made a pickup that performs almost identically to the old ones, but they did it with a unique combination of ceramic magnets and iron loading, instead of the original Alnico magnets. DiMarzio didn't do it just to be different their pickup's magnetic field won't weaken with age, so the sound won't change in time.
DiMarzio Soapbar DP167
Why do so many players love the old soapbar pickup? Probably because it is the friendliest sounding single-coil ever. High notes are always fat, with just enough bite to cut through the mix. Low notes are bright, but not thin, and the tone stays even all the way up the neck. The version of this classic pickup also punches up the mids and tightens up the lows. The DiMarzio Soapbar comes in soapbar (black or cream) and dog-ear (black only) versions. The cover is included.
Recommended for all positions on solid body guitars.
