DiMarzio Twang King™ Tele Bridge Model DP173BK
Also see DiMarzio Twang King™
Tele Neck Model DP172
This is the bridge half of DiMarzio's first pair of matched
Tele replacement pickups. Each Twang King is built by hand with
exclusive winding techniques that give the guitar more attack
while keeping that famous single-coil sound. It delivers the
finest vintage sound combined with improved string balance and
solid DiMarzio construction. The bridge pickup, DP173, comes
with a base plate installed, and it's dipped in wax after
assembly for quiet performance.
Recommended For:
Standard Tele bridge position.
Tech Talk:
The Twang King Neck was not modeled after a specific
original. Instead, it combines the best tonal qualities of
several Broadcaster and Telecaster pickups from the '50s and
early '60s. DiMarzio was aiming for a balance between big, clean lows
and fatter-sounding highs, and they wanted the pickup to be able
to handle a very wide dynamic range, so the sound would clean up
with soft picking and really open up with a harder attack.
