From clean country to heavy levels of amp gain. The DiMarzio DP240 Vintage Minibucker Mini Humbucker Neck Pickup is all about clarity, dynamics and lots of sparkle. In a word, the Vintage Minbucker has chime. It excels at clean country sounds, but it also shines with heavy levels of amp gain because it doesn't get muddy with a distorted amp. The Vinage Minibucker Neck model performs equally well with crystal-clean amps or extreme overdrive. Although it is a fairly bright pickup, it isn't harsh-sounding and will also perform well in the bridge position of both solid and semi-hollowbody guitars. It has a well-balanced overall sound which allows it to work well in many different guitars and musical situations, and split mode produces a chimey, Strat-like sound. It's not quite as loud as a PAF, but it reacts immediately when a string is picked hard, and it cleans up when the volume is rolled down. Both neck and bridge models are wax potted and include 4-conductor wiring.
