DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Blues Strat Pickup
The DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Blues delivers enhanced power and warmth compared to traditional single-coil pickups, producing a bold tone that holds up under aggressive picking dynamics. Designed to eliminate 60-cycle hum completely, it offers a dead-quiet performance that lets your playing cut through overdriven amplifiers without signal loss or unwanted noise.
Highly versatile across multiple configurations, this pickup excels in the bridge position to provide a tough, muscular response—especially on brighter guitars or setups with lighter string gauges. It also serves as an outstanding neck or middle pickup option, pairing effortlessly with full-size bridge humbuckers for a balanced, full-bodied output.
Built with Alnico 5 magnets and 4-conductor wiring, it offers flexible installation options for modern switching setups. Operating exceptionally well with both 250K and 500K potentiometers, it allows players to fine-tune their frequency response and overall tonal warmth.
