DiMarzio DP172 CHR Twang King

Good T-style pickup. Reasonable price.

I used this pickup in a Fender Mexican telecaster and it improved the guitar's tone a lot. It sounds open and full, harnesses the true sound of a Tele and it will improve the sound of lower end instruments by a decent amount. I would advise this pickup for anyone looking to improve a guitar below the $1,000 range. If your instrument is on the more expensive side, maybe you should consider something that matches its expensiveness a bit more.

Sounds modern, not as the description states, has too much bass, and pretty high output. When matched with twang king bridge, the midle psn sounds amazing. Out of phase also sounds perfect. Very muddy when set in parallel.

I swapped a stock pickup in a custom Fender telecaster. The original one was way too noisy. This one is somewhat quieter but sounds almost the same. I guess I was expecting something more at this price range. Nevertheless, it is not bad.

Classic tele sound but with a personality of its own, really nice!
