DiMarzio believes the Area '58 and Area '61 are a major step forward in the performance of hum cancelling Strat replacement pickups. The technology that went into the DP417 models has allowed them to make a similar advance with Telecaster guitar pickups. The Area T neck model has the combination of clarity and warmth that Telecaster players have always sought.

This pickup provides a clear, punchy tone with lots of brilliance. The sound is a distinct improvement over the stock single-coil device, while maintaining the single-coil clarity. And all with no hum! Although DiMarzio's spec sheet indicates a 4-wire cable, the black and white wires are only an inch or so long and come soldered together in a series humbucker configuration. The instructions explain only that parallel wiring is not practical. Only humbucking and single-coil modes are possible, and in my experiments I find no discenable difference between the two sounds. Basically, this delivers only one sound, but a sound well worth the effort and expense. One note: If wired as recommended, this pickup will be out-of-phase with a Dimarzio Super Distortion pickup in the bridge position. It is curious that Dimarzio would design two Tele-only pickups to be out-of-phase with each other. However, simply swapping the red and green wires sets thing right.
These are by far the best hum-canceling pickups for the Tele. IF you absolutely MUST play without the hum (live performance, practice with headphones) then these are a no-brainer. However, I'd also put these up against many of the very best pickups for the Tele, hum or no hum. They have the warmth of the Lollar pickup with a truer Tele tone.
