Dimarzio Super Distortion pickups

[tepidy]

Anybody remember back in the 70's when the trend was to swap out your LP bridge pickup for a Dimarzio Super Distortion pickup. Have to admit they had a great sound and tone to them.

I believe Ace Frehley started that trend. Thats what he used back in the day. I recall Larry Dimarzio talking about this very

subject a while ago.

They are still a highly regarded replacement pickup.

I have a 79 SuperD in my SG and it has a nice bitey tone. I also have one in my 82 Charvel

Has anyone heard of these before? They look pretty good guitars, fitted with Dimarzio pickups.

No...but the guitars look sweet...looks like great quality too, but i couldnt find any prices..They dont sell in America:-k

[guitarworld]

That particular model sells for £1799 in the UK. I'm looking into it very seriously, it does have a great spec for the money. They are handmade in France by a luthier called Michel Lag.

SWEET AXE!!! ...I have a 71 Epi ET-275 with a one piece body...... mine too is a sweet axe

[truetone6]

Thanks man,I'd love to see a photo of your ET-275!

I fitted a pair of DiMarzio 'Dual Sound's in my very first guitar - a copy (well, kinda...) of a LP gold-top - in 1976.

 

They cost more than the guitar...

 

The D-S's were the same as the S-D's with a mini-toggle coil-tap.

 

I still have it (and them).

 

 

Yes; I do know the neck p-up ring is broken, thanks. As it's an original M69(*) I'll keep it.

 

 

 

 

* OK. That was a lie.

 

truetone6; What do the two screws just north of the bridge do? :-

The screws just fill 2 holes.I think the former owner used to have a midi pick up on it it like in the photo below.
