Description
This is the exact pairing Dimebag Darrell settled on when he wanted crunch without chaos – a bridge pickup that bites and a neck pickup that smooths things back out. Together they cover the ground between Pantera-style saturation and something you can actually control with your picking hand.
- Bridge: the Dimebucker, built around a ceramic bar magnet with dual stainless steel blades for tight, punchy low end and scooped mids
- Bridge output has that “sag” Dime asked for – thick and crunchy when you dig in, but never fuzzed-out or unruly
- Neck: a ’59 Bridge model, chosen by Dime specifically for its vintage warmth to offset the aggressive bridge tone and add extra bite to solos
- Bridge pickup uses 4-conductor lead wire, opening up coil-split and series/parallel wiring options
- Both pickups are vacuum wax potted to kill microphonic squeal at high gain
- ’59 neck pickup carries authentic vintage touches down to the cloth-braid hookup wire
- Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA
Dime described the Dimebucker’s voice as saturated but not fuzzy – a smooth, crunchy distortion with low end that thumps and top end that cuts without turning harsh. Drop this set in and you’re wired for that exact sound, straight out of the box.
