Description
DiMarzio spent over a decade chasing the elusive tone of early 1960s single coils – that steely-yet-woody character players love – and building it into a pickup that stays dead quiet. The Area 61 is the result: a single-coil-sized humbucker that swaps in directly where a standard single coil would go, giving you vintage-correct voicing with none of the hum and noticeably less magnetic string pull thanks to its Alnico 2 magnet.
It’s a genuinely versatile pickup that holds its own in the neck, middle, or bridge position. Drop one into the bridge alongside a pair of Area 58s and you’ve got a pickup set that spans classic Nashville twang all the way to Texas grit, all in one guitar.
