With the DiMarzio DP421 Area Hot T Bridge Pickup, you get a similar EQ as a vintage PAF pickup. Because it has the classic Tele 6-magnet configuration, it's not simply a PAF reduced to Tele size. The sound is more detailed and controlled. The plain strings both sing and sting, and the wound strings have a dynamic quality that's halfway between a humbucker and a P90. The Area Hot T Bridge uses Alnico 2 magnets like our other Area models, and works well with either 250K or 500K controls.

What do the techs have to say?

Like the DiMarzio Area T, the DiMarzio Area Hot T Bridge has outstanding dynamic range, and it responds instantly to changes in pick attack and volume. It's also very sensitive to string distance. The volume is high when the pickup is close to the strings, but can be reduced by backing the Area T Bridge away. String-pull is not a problem with the same Alnico 2 magnets that are standard on the Area T.
