DiMarzio has been working on serious vintage single-coil design with no hum for twelve years. The goal has always been to capture the best qualities of pickups heard from the 1950s and 60s. They tested out several pickups from the early 60s that had a unique tonality: they were steely, yet woody-sounding. Naturally, DiMarzio wanted to nail that sound, and they wanted to do it with no hum and less magnet-pull. The DiMarzio Area 61 does it. It's good in all three positions. It's the perfect bridge pickup if you want to go all the way from Nashville to Texas in one guitar.
