Thank you Larry DiMarzio for making these awesome picksup. It inspired me to change my picksups on my guitar, but I can't decide what to put for the middle single coil. The humbuckers are going to be the D Activators bride and neck, but the middle I'm still trying to figure out. I like progressive metal such as Dream Theater and instrumental rock by Steve Va and Steve Morse.

[LarryDiMarzio]

@JjPaRk149 It depends on the specific guitar, and whether you want the middle pickup to be hum-cancelling or a true single-coil. Please email your question along with this info to tech@dimarzio.com & we'll give you good recommendations.

how much r these pick ups? can i put them on my strat or my jag hh?

[LarryDiMarzio]

@20stevieray

Prices vary in different stores, so I can only tell you the US list price, which is $99.00 each. You can put them in any guitar that's routed for full-size humbuckers. Sorry, but I don't think I can get you a signed photo.

@20stevieray Hi, Thanks for your interest in DiMarzio, I have seen D-Activators on Musicians Friend from $69.95 to $109.95.

Please check out the PICKUP PICKER on the DiMarzio website (it is in the lower right corner) for other pickup recommendations. John 5 has prints available on his site.

All the best,

Larry DiMarzio

Hope that helps,

Larry DiMarzio

He's a great player. He's been my inspiration for so long, and I really admire his work. Also, damn John, that's a nice house!

(Also, what song is it at 1:41?)

@crazyhaircut94 I agree, he has come along way since he used to live in a warehouse.

[funbagproductions]

i wish i could play as good as him.

[elstroshitnonstop]

telecasters have changed considerably, they got thinner and the wood changed and the electrics changed almost yearly. the 52 teles dont have a tone knob, its a blend knob that blends the pickups, changed in 53. also the pickups and wiring changed a lot and you really need to look this stuff up to get a correct sounding tele, nothing worse than a tele not being right
