If you love the sound of a Super Distortion® in the bridge and you like hot neck pickups too, try a Super 2. The Super 2 takes the classic Super Distortion sound and slides the EQ up in favor of the high-end, so its brighter top and lighter bottom work to balance out the darker, overtone-heavy information up by the fingerboard.

Content Richness: I have a pair of old Dimarzio Super 2s. They were made in the early 80s and to my astonishment still work. I don't know what the exact output level is in terms of measurement but, they sound beautiful. They're very clear cut in tone and well balanced all the way around. The bass, mid, and treble are all on spot. One doesn't over power the other. I have them in both positions and would recommend them for both. If you want to know what the actual sound of your guitar is on a clean channel, this pickup is for you. // 10

Style: It was made in the early '80s so I think it'll last until it mysteriously get corroded. Not much else to say except that american made products are way better than Jap in terms of quality. // 10

Impression: I have these installed in my Jackson SL2H Soloist and the guitar sounds 1000x better. It had J50 Jackson stock pickups in it since it was made in 1985. I can finally to harmonics without fighting for them. Hands down my favorite pickup and I've tried Duncans and EMGs, they weren't for me. // 10

I have the same pickup in one of my 2 Jackson Kellys, it's a great high output pickup, solos sound beautifull with this pickup on.

I like these better than any other humbuckers ever made and i finally mde some of my own humbuckers...hehehe...i saw somw red and black ones of those

I think this review is somewhat incorrect. They are very treble heavy and in almost any guitar they will have a very present treble frequency. Think Nuno Bettencourt...These sound like a chunkier Bill Lawrence...

might i add that these are definitely professional grade pickups. treble heavy is not bad. The newer jackson soloists are very bass heavy due to the grade of the wood so adding these pickups in there wouldnt be a bad idea for all you jackson owners out there. Theyd definitely level the guitars sound.

I have a DP103 bridge pickup, it sounds awesome, way better than my stock yamaha set
