DiMarzio Area ’58 Single-Coil Pickup (Black)
This is the Area 58 single-coil pickup from DiMarzio! It’s a clear and bright pickup, however not thin sounding! This model was inspired by a pickup built in 1958, however with less magnet pull and virtually no hum!
The Area 58™ has obvious similarities to the Virtual Vintage® 2.1 it replaces, but there are several non-visible performance factors that have changed. Dynamic range and string definition are greatly increased, leading to improvements in both clean chord-playing and overdriven soloing. The Area 58™ is very sensitive to small height adjustment differences: close to the strings produces a fatter, slightly compressed blues tone and further away yields crystal clean sounds. The final improvement is in noise reduction. All of the Virtual Vintage® pickups have better hum cancellation than full-size humbuckers. Area 58™ and Area 61™ are even quieter.
