DiMarzio DP111 SDS-1 - "Beefy single coil"

DiMarzio DP102 X2N - "Brutally hot"

DiMarzio DP101 Dual Sound - "A Super Distortion with a push/pull"

DiMarzio DP192 Air Zone - "Tone Zone with an air gap"
The DiMarzio Air Zone is basically a Tone Zone with an air gap. DiMarzio puts a gap between the magnet and pole pieces. This creates these real neat overtones that while knocking down the output a …
DiMarzio DP191 Air Classic Bridge - "Rather have a 36th Anniv."
