DiMarzio "TRUE VELVET T" Bridge Pickup, Black, DP178-BK

A great-sounding vintage Telecaster bridge pickup, if it exists, is quite rare. It must have both hot and warmth, a sharp attack, and smooth sustain. In other words, a sound with depth.

The True Velvet T Bridge Model achieves this ideal sound: presence and heaviness in single notes, and a three-dimensional sound that allows each note to be clearly heard in chord work.

To achieve this authentic vintage sound, the True Velvet T uses hand-calibrated magnets and special wire, controlled coil wiring tension, and a double wax treatment to prevent feedback.

As with the Twang King Bridge Model, our sonic goal was to combine the best sonic qualities of some of the '50s and early '60s Broadcaster and Telecaster pickups. The difference is in the "size" of the sound. The True Velvet T bridge delivers a big sound with an exceptionally wide dynamic range from soft to loud.
