The prewired DiMarzio FG2108 Pickguard is for Strat-style electric guitars with standard 11-hole pickguards. It"s got H-4 DP217 pickups in the neck and middle positions and an HS-3 pickup in the bridge position. The HS-4 pickups provide plenty of presence and brilliance, particularly on the high strings, yet yield no 60-cycle hum. The HS-3 is known for being a smooth and relatively quiet pickup that produces a sweet overdrive tone without jagged edges. These qualities combine perfectly with a heavily distorted amp, because the sound won"t get muddy or messy.
