Desirability:
If you can play your feelings. You'll have no problem sharing them with the audience.

Sound:
In 40 years of professional experience, playing everything from country to jazz fusion I have run into no pick-up as versatile as the "Dimarzio super distortion." It misses nothing. When my pick attack is light for mellow jazz chords, every note and every thing my right hand is doing is crystal clear. When I play fusion I get the same results no matter how aggresive my pick attack may be. I recently replaced an EMG in the bridge position with the DP100 and there is no comparison. Compared to the Dimarzio, the EmG sounds like a transistor radio that has been turned up way too loud. The Dimarzio has more punch and more volume (had to reduce my post gain to more than half of what it was for the EMG) and it never loses it's tonal quality - extrordinary! Truely, the most productive pick-up around today. Sincerely, Mike E. Montgomery

Overall:
I have used the Dimarzio in the past and do not expect to use anything else. I have come back to the ultimate pick-up - for good!
