The bright, clean Strat sound without the hum.

The DiMarzio DP419 Area '67 is a hum canceling pickup that has the chime of '60s pickups, and its 2 and 4 positions are light, bright and quack-happy.

The Monterey Pop Festival of 1967 was a watershed event in American music. When it was over, the world had heard and felt the sound of a Strat in the hands of a master. Single-coil electric guitar pickups in 1967 were bright and very clean. And of course, they hummed. DiMarzio has captured this classic bright and clean sound but totally eliminated the hum with patented Area technology. They also reduced magnet pull by 40% for improved sustain and clarity.

Recommended For: All positions, especially neck and middle

Tech Talk: Strat pickups in the late 1960s used full-strength Alnico 5 magnets. The patented magnetic field of the Area models is more efficient and focused than it is on true single-coils, which allows DiMarzio to use Alnico 2 in the DP419 instead. There's much less magnet pull, but no loss of output. This is a major advantage in the neck and middle positions, where sustain and intonation can both suffer if the strings are exposed to strong magnetic fields. In the bridge position, the patented technology of the Area '67 pickup produces a sound that's very bright but not brittle.

Area 67

Posted by Guillermo from Alabama on Oct 23, 2009

Experience w/product: I have heard about it

Reviewer's Background: Educated Hobbyist

Reviewer's Play Style: Blues, Classic and Modern Rock, Progressive

I have the area 67 as the middle pickup on my deluxe player's strat and it (along side my area 58 neck and 61 bridge) rocks.

Before I bought this pickup I never thought of the middle pickup as much besides something to add to the neck or bridge to even it out. But this pickup has shown me the light. When I use all three pickups (using the push button the the deluxe player's) it helps create a great clean but one that's unique.

Paul Gilbert uses this in all three positions of his Fireman, but don't let his shred reputation fool you, this pickup is a blast from the tone past with the added bonus of zero hum (it's as/more quiet than a humbucker.

Purlpe Haze with out the Hum

Posted by BUZZNOMORE from Spring Grove PA on Apr 15, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Gigging Hero of PA

I went out on a limb and tryed my first set of noiseless pickups. I have always hated noiseless( toneless) pickups like the Cobalts and others. I usually paly Custom Shop 69's and texas specials, but I hated the 60's cycle hum in the studio or on stage when I forget to turn down my guitar.

The area 67 pickups blew me away. They have all the classic fender glassy bell like tone with out hum. These pickups reduce string pull and actually increase sustain.

Further these pickups remain fat and full even when bending on the highest frets, no thin tinny sound here. Set your amp up right and you can easily get the Stevie or the Jimi tone.

I love'm and the future of my Texas specail and Custom 69's is in question. Dimarzio has a satisfation guarentee, so what do you have to lose but the hum.

P.S. order 500K pots for your guitar, you'll need them for the install.

Shimmering Cleans & Really Quiet

Posted by SoloistMan420 from Ballstack NJ on Jun 5, 2008

I replaced the middle pickup on my Jackson Soloist SL-1 with the Area '67. It sounds overall much clearer, even with distortion on. This pickup has a very bright sound that gets cleans that I can't imagine anyone not liking. I don't know how well this recreates a '67 Strat pickup because I have only owned a MIM Strat. I thought this was well worth it.
