All of our true single-coil pickups are available with reversed polarity and connections at no additional charge.
We recommend that you contact your national DiMarzio® distributor (where available) directly for more information. To do this, please visit http://www.dimarzio.com/distributors and select your country from the dropdown menu. If no distributor is shown for your country, or your country is not listed, please contact us directly for buying options.
It's also true that using a high-output or "distortion" pickup with the lead channel of a very high-gain amp may create an extremely distorted sound, to the point where individual notes have reduced definition and chords blur together. The best way to reduce the amount of distortion in this situation is by lowering your amp's preamp volume or first gain control.
All magnetic pickups produce a clean signal with no distortion. Distortion is produced either in the amplifier or in effects pedals or rack effects. When a pickup is said to produce distortion, it indicates a pickup with high output, which more easily drives amplifiers into distortion. An amplifier with a totally clean channel or clean setting may not distort at all, even with a high output pickup.
Unless otherwise noted, the standard color for all full-sized Humbuckers, Soap Bars, Tele, Bass and Acoustic pickups is black. The standard color for all Strat replacement pickups is white. The standard finish on pickups with metal covers is polished nickel.
The suggested U.S. retail prices of our products can be found throughout this site or by requesting a full copy of our consumer price list. DiMarzio® dealers determine actual retail prices in their own stores, but most dealers offer our suggested retail price. Prices outside the USA are generally higher due to import costs and VAT.
To find color availability please go to the PICKUP link at the top of the page and select the model you are interested in. All of the available colors for that particular pickup will be listed under Color Options.
Although "black back" is not a nickname that we have ever used, it commonly refers to the fact that some of our humbuckers have black base plates rather than brass or nickel silver. This is simply a cosmetic choice which does not affect performance, and it doesn't actually refer to specific models. However, the Breed™ and Evolution® models are built with black base plates as a standard feature.
Generally, orders for pickups in colors take an extra day or two to leave our factory. As of 2020-2021, lead times may be further extended due to COVID-19.
We want you to be happy with your new DiMarzio® pickup. For U.S. residents, our full 30-day exchange policy can be found here.
We are occasionally able to sell some OEM pickups directly to customers, or to make a recommendation as to which other pickup in our retail line would most closely resemble it. For additional information, please contact our tech department at [email protected].
