DiMarzio DP 226BK BC-2 Bridge

When we started working with Billy Corgan on the pickups for the Strat®, we sent him a few models to try out. He liked the Air Norton S™ in the neck, The Chopper™ in the middle, and The Tone Zone® S in the bridge. After playing them at several concerts, he requested some changes to the neck and bridge. He wanted a deeper sound from the low strings, without losing any punch, and he didn't want the sound to become muddy with high-gain amplifiers. To achieve this, we lowered the frequency response of one of the coils in each pickup just enough to enhance the bass while opening up the mids. The final results are the pickups that are now in Billy's signature Strat®. They do exactly what he wants in humbucking mode, and he found that they work very well in split mode too.
