For a tightly focused jolt of power to crank your amplifier into rich overdrive!

Like a Chopper on steroids, the Fast Track 2 is a pedal-to-the-floor, side-by-side, twin-blade monster. It's got 3 times the output of an average single-coil, with a huge midrange punch. It's a bridge-position-only pickup with a powerful crunch and grind designed right in. Mix the Fast Track 2 with Fast Track 1 and Chopper pickups for an extremely hot, tight sound from any guitar with 3 single-coil pickups. Recommended for bridge position for all Strat-style guitars. The dual-blade pole pieces can handle all string-spacing options. Think of it as a single-coil-sized version of the Super Distortion or Super 3. Using a 500K volume control will open up the top end. The best neck and middle pickup combinations with the 2 would be relatively hot models like the Fast Track 1 and Chopper You can also mix it with models like the Virtual Vintage line, if you're prepared for the jump in power of the bridge position.

See recommended accessories on this page for the Chopper and Fast Track 1 pickups.

DiMarzio DP182 Fast Track 2 Pickup Features:

I dropped this pickup in my strat, replacing a SCNoiseless in the bridge (which was a very quiet, low output pickup). My goal was to have a hot single coil sound-not a humbucker sound and I more than got what I was asking for. This pickup is sick, super tight, not too thick...not to over the top, just very focused rock and roll. Would highly recommend!

I installed this in the bridge of my Indiana strat copy. Some ask why? It has added so much range and sustain for ever and ever. Lows are deeper. It doesn't have the single coil quack that I'll miss. I have purchased a middle and neck pickup and my son asked me why I didn't buy another guitar? I couldn't tell you? I'm looking for a sound and I like what I've done so far.

More Distortion and Crunch than stock pickups

I put this in the bridge of my '07 Mexican Strat. I needed a brighter tone with more distortion for my band. The fender stock pickup wasnt bad but it always sounded like I have a pillow or something in front of my amp, sort of muffling the sound. Well I order this and installed it and I could hear the difference immediately. Palm mutes and high gain sound great with this, and it really brightens up the tone but with a lot of distortion. Like a combination of a covered humbucker and a single coil, it has a really unique sound. Real pricey though.

I've got this in my Jay Turser, and I've gotta tell you, what an improvement! My guitar had ZERO sustain with the stock pickup, now I can play a metal solo and it will actually sound metal, I can get desirable feedback and harmonics now too, I use this PU with two Choppers and I've got a great rich tone that can really let a solo cut through. Best Idea I ever had, although, next time I'm getting a new guitar, and probably using this pickup in it!

This pickup is Seriously a metal Pickup. I own an old school Highway one American Fender and I bought this for The bridge. I have a little Marshall 15 Watt and This pickup Still sounds Crazy good. Sure Fender Craps out When it comes to Grounds half the time and Now I can Humm into my guitar and make it Scream But It is still wicked Bad! My Friends Used to Rag me in the Fact that a strat is not metal.....This Pickup Shuts them Up!
