Description
Andy Timmons doesn’t chase gimmicks — he chases touch, phrasing, and tone that speaks. Since 2001, his go-to bridge pickup has been the DiMarzio AT-1, a design that started life exclusive to his signature Ibanez and eventually made it to players who wanted that same balance of warmth, clarity, and push. It shares winding and magnet technology with the PAF 36th Anniversary, but DiMarzio dialed it hotter and aimed it squarely at rock lead work.
This F-Spaced, black-covered version (DP224F) is built for the bridge position, where its Alnico 5 magnet and 16.50 Kohm DC resistance deliver 320mV of output — enough grit to drive an amp into singing sustain without turning to mush. Originally voiced for a 25.5″ scale mahogany-body guitar, the AT-1 is flexible enough to warm up brighter-sounding guitars or add focus to 24 3/4″ scale set-neck instruments.
4-conductor wiring gives you full coil-splitting and phase options if your wiring setup calls for it, so you’re not locked into a single voice.
