DiMarzio DP172C Twang King Neck Pickup Single Coil Electric Guitar Pickup Largest Supplier Online

At The Farm, we don’t rely on bland manufacturer stock photos – we physically photograph one of each model to show a better representation of the product. Some minor details like wood grain and color finish can, and may vary slightly from the pictures below. 

When DiMarzio decided to go for the vintage Tele sound, they knew they had to do more than just copy a forty-year-old design. They wanted pickups that captured the best elements of their favorite Broadcaster and Telecaster sounds – and then some.

The Twang King neck pickup has unequalled response to pick attack: light playing produces a soft, quiet tone and hard picking creates a harder, louder, and more dynamic sound than any comparable single-coil – accomplished by a combination of controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire, and hand-calibrated magnets. The neck pickup comes with a chrome cover and are wax-potted twice for squeal-free performance.

Offering big, clean lows and highs, this pickup is 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.
