DiMarzio DP175SW True Velvet Middle Pickup – White for Fender Stratocaster

DiMarzio DP175SW True Velvet Middle Pickup – White for Fender Stratocaster

t’s not difficult to make a vintage single-coil pickup that’s clean and bright, but not so easy if you also want the high strings to sound sweet above the 12th fret. The True Velvetâ„¢ was designed to make this happen by tuning the coil to a frequency range that’s bright but not thin. We combined this with a magnet stagger specifically designed to enhance string balance, which produces great clarity, even with full chords. The True Velvetâ„¢ Neck and Middle models have the same specs except for reverse polarity on the middle pickup for hum cancellation in the 2 and 4 positions. The True Velvetâ„¢ Middle comes standard with hand-ground magnets and vintage cloth covered wire.

Middle position.

TECH TALK

The True Velvetâ„¢ is a further development of our Blue Velvetâ„¢ line. We’ve re-tuned the basic frequency response to hone in on the strongest aspects of vintage single-coil tone. The best vintage single-coils emphasized a “sweet spot� where the sound is bright but not piercing. The True Velvetâ„¢ is tuned to this spot, making it equally effective for many playing styles, from the clarity of country music to the grit of Texas blues. For technically-minded players, reverse polarity on our true single-coil Strat® replacements is south up.
