      DiMarzio DP117 HS-3 Guitar Pickup (100264662)
Availability:  


Gutsy, warm, and full-bodied.

DiMarzio EQed the HS-3 guitar pickup with a broad low end while gently rolling back the top. The result is warmth without a glaring high end; just right for the guitar that needs more body and less screech. Hum-free pickup design lends itself to any performance situation. Try the HS-3 pickup in a recording environment--no more dumping your best solo because of single-coil noise on the track. Smooth tone curve produces a sweet overdrive without jagged edges. Coupled with the more glassy, transparent sound of HS-1 or HS-2 pickups in the neck and middle positions, the DiMarzio HS-3 pickup adds a warmer, fatter tone to round out your sound. Works well in all 3 positions on a Stratocaster for slightly warmer-than-usual Strat sound. Combines in middle and neck positions with bridge humbuckers like PAF Pro, PAF, Air Classic, or Norton. Standard 4-conductor wiring, Alnico 5 magnet, and 93mV output.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

  • DiMarzio HS-3 Pickup

    As reviewed by Droco on 8/11/2008

    I put this pickup in the neck position of my Fender Standard Strat, and this pickup has been performing at my expectations. This pickup really isn't noisy at all and produces a very warm tone. The best example of the sound I can give is pretty much any song from Yngwie Malmsteen's first solo cd, Rising Force. This pickup will not give you the bright classic sounds of bands like Led Zeppelin or The Who. It also is rather low gain and doesn't have the highest output, which is one of the main reasons I put it in the neck position, preferring a louder, higher output pickup in the neck and the bridge. If you're looking for a hum free pickup that accentuates your notes and gives them excellent clarity I would definitely recommend this pickup.

  • very stratty

    As reviewed by (I'd rather not) on 7/8/2009

    With the other reviews i have read i thought it would sound more like a Humbucker... not at all! sounds like the early '70s strats.. no increase in output... puts the Fender Vintage Noiseless (Toneless!!!) to shame with its hum-canceling feature and its accuracy in tone and volume roll off with a 250K pot.... best humbucking strat imitation i have ever tried so far!!!!
