DiMarzio presents the DP 175 True Velvet, a Strat-style single coil pickup.
According to DiMarzio, the True Velvet is a further development of the brand’s Blue Velvet line. It is a vintage single-coil pickup that’s not only clean and bright, but also designed to make the high strings sound sweet above the 12th fret. To achieve this, the True Velvet™ Neck Model’s coil was tuned to a frequency range that is bright but not thin. It was also combined with a magnet stagger specifically designed to enhance string balance, which produces great clarity, even with full chords.
the True Velvet™ Neck Model is recommended for all positions and comes standard with hand-ground magnets and vintage cloth covered wire.
DiMarzio rates its tone as follows:
Treble: 8.5
Mid: 4.5
Bass: 3.5
