The Pickup Place / Re: Dimarzio PAF 57

I noticed there isn’t a cream option, but the relic white looks darn close.  I’m curious about that.

I’m a SDUGF member, although I rarely post anymore.

The Pickup Place / Re: Air Classic Neck Review (DP190)

I’m waiting on your AN review, and coincidentally, the Air Classic is what I’ve picked for the neck.  Nice review, and confirms what I’ve gathered up to this point.

Looking to drop a pair of Dimarzios into a 93 Hamer Special FM.  I’ll go Air Classic in the neck.

I have been thinking 36th, but your description of the AN in the bridge is sounding like something I’d dig.

My Dimarzio experience is limited to Super Distortions and X2Ns.  Those really worked well for me.  I’m looking for lower output these days, but not necessarily 1950s PAF output.

Looks interesting, although I don’t have a guitar for that.

It looks like it’s s all F tron sized.  Is that radically different than standard humbucker size?

I’m about to reinstall a Super D in a Hamer Special FM.  I pulled the Super D for a PAFish pickup in the bridge, but I’m reversing course!

Sending the guitar back, so no new Dimarzio Tele pickups for the moment. 

I do have a Super Distortion laying about that’s going into a 1995 Hamer Special FM, so all is not lost!

I appreciate the info.

Thanks Stephen!

I actually forgot the fact that I did use a Chopper T about 18 years ago.  I liked it, and your description is on the money.  I also did the series/parallel thing.

Unless someone chimes in regarding a Pre B-1, it looks like the Area Hot T will fit the bill.

I see where you’re going with this.

No personal  Dimarzio Tele experience here either.  A friend uses the Twang King set, which nails that type of Tele sound.  I’ve used only humbuckers and P90 size humbuckers.

I appreciate the replies!

I had not considered the 615.  I see that output wise, it’s between the Area and Area Hot.

Are you thinking that the 615 may provide needed bite/push without overdoing it?

The Pickup Place / Pre B-1 or Area T Hot?
« on: February 28, 2023, 12:51:54 PM »
Hello,

I have a new Squier CV Tele on the way.  I’ll play the stock pickups for a while, but I’ve given thought to replacements if I’m not digging it.

I’ve had a great experience with the Chopper T in the past, but I’d like to head in a slightly different direction this time.  This is for the bridge pickup.

I’m considering the Pre B-1 and Area T Hot.  I’ll be playing blues and rock that resembles the crunchier end of The Rolling Stones.  Amps are two Quilter Superblocks (US and UK), and a Rockittretro 50, which is a clone of a 1968 Plexi.

I do want to keep the core sound of a Tele pickup, but with the ability to pull a bit more  Stonesy crunch out of it at a reasonable volume.
