DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2 Strat Pickup Black

DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2 Strat Pickup Black

If you’ve heard the cliché that Alnico 2 means warm, soft tone, prepare to be surprised by the DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2 Strat Pickup Black. This is not a polite pickup, and the closer it’s adjusted to the strings, the more raw it gets. In particular, the Alnico 2 magnetic field opens up all of the attack and definition of the low strings. It’s a hot pickup with a strong attack in the bridge position, and its Alnico 2 magnets allow it to work very well in the neck position as well, for players who want a very warm, round sound. If you want an in-your-face-and-proud-of-it sound, the Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2 is well worth considering.

Created using the same technology of the Area 58, the Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2 has more mids and lows while still possessing outstanding pick attack. This also makes it an excellent pickup for the arpeggios and sweep picking classical metal players prefer, because it does not become muddy even with high gain.
