T-style single coil for the bar position
of matched Tele replacement pickups. We build each Twang King by hand with exclusive winding techniques that give the guitar more attack while keeping that famous single-coil sound. It delivers the finest vintage sound combined with improved string balance and solid DiMarzio construction. The bridge pickup, DP173, comes with a base plate installed, and it’s dipped in wax after assembly for quiet performance.
Recommended For: Standard Tele bridge position.
Tech Talk: DiMarzio didn’t model the Twang King bridge after a specific original. Instead, DiMarzio combined the best tonal qualities of several Broadcaster and Telecaster pickups from the ’50s and early ’60s. DiMarzio were aiming for a balance between big, clean lows and fatter-sounding highs, and they wanted the pickup to be able to handle a very wide dynamic range, so the sound would clean up with soft picking and really open up with a harder attack.
