DiMarzio DP389W

The Tone Zone® T DP389 

The Tone Zone® T brings the performance of the famous Tone Zone® to a humbucking Tele® replacement pickup. We’ve built in the tremendous mid-range and bass response of the original Tone Zone®, and the same patented dual-resonance design produces great harmonics. 4-conductor wiring provides parallel humbucking and split-coil modes, so you can go from bang to twang at the flick of a switch.

Recommended For 

Bridge position, Telecaster®-style guitars.

Tech Talk 

If you compare the specs of the full-size Tone Zone® with those of The Tone Zone® T, you will notice they don't match. That's because the trick in building a single-coil size pickup to sound like its big brother is to go for the sound rather than the numbers. We also took into account the likelihood that The Tone Zone® T will be installed in the classic slanted Tele® bridge position, so we've warmed up the higher frequencies and brightened the low notes a little to compensate.
