No. DC resistance is not a direct indicator of tone or output. DiMarzio uses Resistance measurements to verify that a pickup is wound to the correct specification based on the type and length (number of turns) of magnetic wire used in a pickup’s design.

Our Output (mV) is a better representation of a pickup’s relative loudness compared to other DiMarzio pickups.

Our EQ chart, along with the description, provides a better representation of the tonal response.

Due to our vast product line and years of history in the guitar accessories market, occasionally counterfeiters both in the USA and around the world attempt to duplicate our products and sell them falsely under the DiMarzio® brand name. If you are uncertain about whether the new or used item you want to buy is authentic, please contact us with either a photo of the product you're looking to buy or a link to an online listing, if available. The experts in our tech department will be able to help you assess whether the item is genuine.

Kurt Cobain’s 1965 Jaguar was purchased from the Recycler classifieds in 1991 and already had two double cream DiMarzio humbuckers installed when he bought it: a PAF® in the neck and a Super Distortion® in the bridge. This guitar can be seen in numerous concerts and in Nirvana’s famous Saturday Night Live performance of "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

The first Randy Rhoads Sandoval V guitar featured a Super Distortion® in the bridge and a PAF® in the neck. The instrument, made by Karl Sandoval to Randy's exact specifications, was completed in September 1979.

Eddie Munson’s Upside Down Guitar, featured in Season 4 (2022) of the Netflix series Stranger Things, is a limited-edition B.C. Rich Warlock-style model. It features an F-spaced DiMarzio Super Distortion® in the bridge and a standard-spaced D Activator™ in the neck.

All DiMarzio® pickups are passive and do not require a battery.

Select the Pickups link at the top of this page and navigate to the model that you want. Scroll down to the Color Options section. If metal covers are listed in Color Options, then you can get this model with a factory-installed metal cover.

The easiest way to identify an old pickup is to look for a model number on the back. Some of our early models were not identified by model numbers, and some of our OEM models have a different numbering system. See the question, "Do you still make...?" for a full list of pickup models.

We can usually help if you send us an email that tells us enough about the pickup, preferably including a photo of both the front and back of the pickup.

Please try to answer the following questions in your email, especially if you are not able to provide photos of the pickup in question:

Many of our 6-string, 7-string, and 8-string full-size humbuckers are available for order with a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) base that features a 5-pin connector which mates with an included 4-conductor cable and makes our pickups truly plug-and-play. There is an extra charge of $10 List Price for this type of base, and these pickups may be ordered new by calling or emailing us directly. However, existing pickups with standard bases cannot be retrofitted with a PCB base and plug-in connector after purchase.

Regardless of what type of pickups are in your guitar, higher potentiometer resistance values produce a little more power and treble response. Whether this is a good or a bad thing is a matter of individual taste. In the early days, Gibson used 500K controls and Fender used 250K, thereby starting the single-coil = 250K, humbucker = 500K theory. Even though neither company has stuck strictly with this formula since then, the theory lives on.

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.

There is no specific distance that works best for everyone. We measure string height from the top of the polepiece to the bottom of the string when the string (usually the high or low E) is held down at the highest fret. For standard, full-size humbuckers, a reasonable starting point for the bridge pickup is at least 1/16" (1.5mm) from the high E and 5/64" (2 mm) from the low E. There are no recommended distances for the other 4 strings.
