It might look like a regular Strat guitar pickup, but the DiMarzio SDS-1 adds the grunt, gain and warmth that you'd get out of the best old soapbars. The adjustable pole pieces have less magnetic pull than regular rod magnets, so you can get the pickup closer to the strings for a stronger output. The highs are less exaggerated and the bottom is deeper than most single coils resulting in a rounder, darker tone. If your guitar's bridge position sound is too edgy, without enough push to drive your amp, the SDS-1 is the perfect fix.
