of matched Tele replacement pickups. We build each Twang King by hand with exclusive winding techniques that give the guitar more attack while keeping that famous single-coil sound. It delivers the finest vintage sound combined with improved string balance and solid DiMarzio construction. The bridge pickup, DP173, comes with a base plate installed, and it's dipped in wax after assembly for quiet performance.

Recommended For: Standard Tele bridge position.

Tech Talk: DiMarzio didn't model the Twang King bridge after a specific original. Instead, DiMarzio combined the best tonal qualities of several Broadcaster and Telecaster pickups from the '50s and early '60s. DiMarzio were aiming for a balance between big, clean lows and fatter-sounding highs, and they wanted the pickup to be able to handle a very wide dynamic range, so the sound would clean up with soft picking and really open up with a harder attack.
