Vintage minibuckers were
known for being quiet and clean sounding, but they also had a tendency
to “stay in the speaker cabinet” and not offer a great deal of clarity.
Prepare to be surprised. The DiMarzio Vintage Minibucker sound is all
about clarity, dynamics, and lots of sparkle. In a word, the DiMarzio
Vintage Minibucker has chime. It excels at clean,
country sounds, but it also shines with extreme levels of amp gain
because it doesn't get muddy with a distorted amp
We have
discovered this is an excellent Tele neck pickup. It balances very well
with most Tele bridge pickups, and it performs equally well with
crystal-clean amps and extreme overdrive. Although it is a fairly
bright pickup, it isn't harsh-sounding and will also perform well in the
bridge position of both solid and semi-hollow body guitars. We pot the
DiMarzio Vintage Minibucker in wax after the cover has been installed
to eliminate microphonic squealing. We've also included 4-conductor
wiring for greater sound options.
