DiMarzio DP175SBK True Velvet pickup

General

It is not difficult to design a single-coil element that sounds clean and bright. It gets trickier when the tones above the twelfth fret should not sound too shrill. With the DP175SBK, DiMarzio has managed to combine these two characteristics in the same pickup. The pickup's coil is tuned to just the right frequency. This makes the True Velvet sound clear and sparkling, but not shrill and thin.

The DiMarzio brand

DiMarzio is an American brand mainly known for their pickups for guitar and bass guitar. The pickups they design can be inserted directly into the guitars or bass guitars they are made for. DiMarzio also makes other accessories for the (bass) guitarist, such as cables, guitar straps and hardware. The Super Distortion element made DiMarzio big. It was the first available replacement element for the electric guitar. Today, it is still one of the most popular models. Now DiMarzio makes many different types of elements. Many types fit into traditional guitar and bass guitar models such as, for example, the Stratocaster, the Jazz Bass and single cutaway models.
