CLOSE OUT
I do have a new DP416AW (Aged White) that a customer returned. His reason for returning it was that it wasn't hum cancelling in the middle position. Once I received it back and looked at it, the pickup had never been mounted on to his guitar. The insulation on the Red and Green wires had never been stripped back.I have stripped them back and measured them on my multimeter at 6.67 kohms. When I put the multimeter across the Black/white connection and the red wire it reads 5.3 kohm. When I connect the black/White and the green wire to the meter, I am getting 1.37 kohm, both those readings total up to 6.67 kohm which matches the total kohm of the red and green wires. Also, there are no marks on the plastic cover mounting holes where the screw heads would of left a mark if it had been mounted to the pickguard. To me, it looks like buyers remorse and he needed his money back more than a new pickup. There is a full 30 day Warranty.

From the DiMarzio® Website:
Dimarzio has been working on serious vintage single-coil design with no hum for twelve years. Our goal has always been to capture the best qualities of pickups we heard from the 1950s and early 60s. We’ve played several pickups from the early 60s that had a unique tonality: they were steely, yet woody sounding. Naturally, we wanted to nail this sound, and we wanted to do it with no hum and less magnet-pull. The Area 61™ does it. It’s good in all three positions. It’s the perfect bridge pickup with a pair of Area 58™ pickups if you want to go all the way from Nashville to Texas in one guitar.
Over the last 10 years we've gotten literally hundreds of requests from guitarists asking for the Texas blues sound. This sound is centered on single coils from the early 1960s, but it's also based on heavy strings and strong hands. We can't change your strings or your hands, but the Area 61™ captures the tonal bedrock this sound is based on. Like the Area 58™, the Area 61™ really responds to different pick attacks: played hard, it sounds louder and tougher than you'd expect from a vintage pickup, but it cleans up immediately by picking softer or rolling down the volume control. And like the Area 58™, its ability to cancel hum is superior to full-size humbuckers.
