DiMarzio HS-2 Strat Pickup

The DiMarzio HS-2 delivers classic performance as one of the original hum-canceling Strat replacement pickups. Designed with dual-mode flexibility, it offers a solid, natural sound in humbucking mode that is noticeably cleaner and brighter than a conventional humbucker. In single-coil mode, it yields an exceptional vintage tone with significantly reduced noise compared to standard single-coils.
Its ultra-quiet operation makes the HS-2 an ideal choice for high-gain amplifier rigs and complex rack systems. Whether used alone or paired with other pickups, it preserves nuance and clarity across various playing dynamics without introducing unwanted hum or interference.
Engineered for versatility, this pickup excels in all three standard Stratocaster positions and integrates smoothly into mixed single-coil or H-S-H configurations. With 4-conductor wiring and an Alnico 5 magnet, it provides reliable output and seamless tonal adaptability.
