DiMarzio Area ’58 Single-Coil Pickup White

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.
