Product Description

If you ve followed Pantera s rise to the top of the metal heap, then you re already well aware of the searing, crushing, metal massacre that is Dimebag Darrell s signature guitar tone. Now, that tone is yours with the SH-13 Dimebucker . The Dimebucker uses a powerful ceramic magnet coupled with stainless steel blades for boot kickin attitude. The secret to the Dimebucker s hard-hitting crunch is the small amount of metal mass in the core of the pickup. This allows the SH-13 to have both high d.c. resistance and a high resonant peak. The result is a high-output, aggressive humbucker with lots of treble bite and clarity, as well as punchy bass response and exceptional dynamics. The Dimebucker is perfect for heavy rock and metal; and it rocks equally hard with tube and solid-state amps.

Seymour Duncan SH-13 Dimebucker Pickup - Christian D'orio, Dec 10, 2007

Its a nice improvement and has the lead tone to it that I needed this guitar to have.Its meant to have distortion on it(I mean cmon DIMEBUCKER), and doesnt actually feedback or hum all that often compared to the pickup it replaced.The sustain is slightly improved but nothing to really brag about.Harmonics are amazing though.They come out strong, its all I really wanted it to do-have strong harmonics and a lead tone, and I got what I wanted. For me its a ten, but I give an 8 on rating cause its limited in its uses.If you wanted to try more clean sounds, you need to have a nice neck pickup cause this isnt going to cut it.Luckily im not in aband and can improve what I want when I want, so I dont have to jump on the next pickup.
And yeah I obviously chose this cause Im a duncan fan, and a Dime fan.I mean I couldnt pass it up when i decided to upgrade, and its worth it.
