DiMarzio DP189 The Tone Zone S Strat Pickup, White

The DiMarzio DP189 The Tone Zone S Strat Pickup in White delivers the famous Tone Zone humbucker sound in a single-coil-sized format, making it an ideal upgrade for Strat-style guitars that need more power and thicker tone without routing the body. Designed as a hum-canceling pickup, it provides the strong midrange and bass response of the original Tone Zone while maintaining the clarity and articulation needed for modern playing styles.

Engineered with DiMarzio’s patented dual-resonance design, the Tone Zone S produces rich harmonics and a dynamic response that works especially well in the bridge position of a Strat. The pickup’s voice has been carefully tuned to compensate for the classic slanted Strat bridge mounting, warming the high frequencies slightly while keeping the low end tight and punchy.

The Tone Zone S uses a ceramic magnet and high-output coil design to deliver thick lows, strong mids, and smooth highs that cut through the mix without sounding harsh. Four-conductor wiring provides additional flexibility for coil-splitting and advanced switching configurations, giving players access to both humbucker power and single-coil-style tones.
