The DiMarzio DP173 Twang King Telecaster Bridge Pickup is amazing. When DiMarzio set out to design a pickup that delivers stunning vintage Tele sound, they knew they had to go beyond merely copying a 40-year-old design. Sporting controlled-tension coil winding, special wire, and hand-calibrated magnets, from ppp to fff, the Twang King serves up pick-attack response like you’ve never experienced in a single-coil. Of course, the Twang King is wax-potted twice for squeal-free performance. If you’re a Tele twanger, get the bridge pickup that nails it: DiMarzio’s DP173 Twang King.
