I HAVE ONE LEFT WITH A BLACK COVER BUT I DO HAVE COVERS IN WHITE, AGED WHITE AND MINT GREEN. (Dimarzio covers are interchangeable, they pull off and push on. It takes 30 seconds)
Select the color you want when adding to cart and I will include a new cover in the color you order.
There are two major differences between a great vintage Strat® pickup and an average one: treble response and dynamics. A great pickup is clear and bright, but not thin sounding. A great one makes the sound jump out of the amp when you pick hard and drop way down when you play softly, and the tone varies when the string is picked at different spots. The best pickup we’ve ever heard like this was from 1958, and that’s what inspired the Area 58™, with two major differences. Our pickup has way less magnet pull, and virtually no hum.
The Area 58™ has obvious similarities to the Virtual Vintage® 2.1 it replaces, but there are several non-visible performance factors that have changed. Dynamic range and string definition are greatly increased, leading to improvements in both clean chord-playing and overdriven soloing. The Area 58™ is very sensitive to small height adjustment differences: close to the strings produces a fatter, slightly compressed blues tone and further away yields crystal clean sounds. The final improvement is in noise reduction. All of the Virtual Vintage® pickups have better hum cancellation than full-size humbuckers. Area 58™ and Area 61™ are even quieter.
I have the,Black pickup in stock and I have the White, Aged White and Mint Green covers in stock, so I can swap the cover out from one of the in-stock pickups and put your choice cover on it.
