A nontraditional approach to high-output bridge humbucking guitar pickup design. Most hot humbuckers concentrate the pickup"s power in a narrow frequency range for maximum impact. The Dimarzio Special spreads the sound over a broader range so bass and treble tones are boosted and midrange is lowered. The result is a sound that"s hot, clean, and open at the same time. Recommended for bridge position. Clean overdrive with high-gain amps Very effective in dual sound and coil-splitting clean modes For soloing, this is a very good pickup to play with a midrange-heavy amp Mid-scoop keeps the initial pick attack clean; notes don"t run together as much with legato playing, even with heavy overdrive
