Description
News
DiMarzio EQed the HS-3 with a broad low-end while gently rolling back the top. The result is warmth without a glaring high-end - just right for the guitar that needs more body and less screech. The HS-3 hum-free design lends itself to any performance situation. Try HS-3 pickups in a recording environment. No more dumping your best solo because of single-coil noise on the track.
The smooth tone curves of the HS-3 produces a sweet over-drive tone without jagged edges. Coupled with the more glassy, transparent sound of HS-1 or HS-2 pickups in the neck and middle positions, HS-3 pickups add a warmer, fatter tone to round out your sound.
Recommended for all positions.
Tech Talk
Works well in all 3 positions on Strat for slightly warmer-than-usual Strat sound. Also works well as bridge pickup with HS-1 (neck) and HS-2 (middle). Combines in middle and neck positions with bridge humbuckers like PAF Pro, PAF, Air Classic, and Norton.
Magnet: Alnico 5
Output: 93mV
DC Resistance: 23.72K
Year of introduction: 1980
Patent #: 4,442,749

DiMarzio HS3 Humbucker Pickup Reviews
6 out of 10
"A not so powerful, noiseless strat pickup."
This pickup does not work with regular output pickups. A guitar with only HS's might work well for hard effecting, but with a good tube amp, these mostly sound dull and silent due to the low output and weak treble and bass responses. With effects, it might be good to have a dull and clear sound from the pickups.
