Description
This is the pairing Dimebag Darrell built his whole attack around: a Dimebucker in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan ’59 Bridge model in the neck, wired to sit together like they were designed for one guitar — because they were.
The bridge Dimebucker is voiced for that scooped-mid, crunchy-but-not-fuzzy saturation Dime described in a 2004 interview: gain that thickens and sags just slightly under a hard pick attack, low end that hits like a gut punch, and top end that cuts without slicing your face clean off. A ceramic bar magnet and dual stainless steel blades give it that tight, aggressive push, while 4-conductor lead wire keeps your wiring options open — coil-split, series/parallel, whatever your circuit calls for.
In the neck, the ’59 Bridge does what Dime wanted it to do: smooth out the low end and add extra teeth to leads, balancing the aggression of the Dimebucker with warmer, more vintage-correct output. It’s built full vintage-spec, right down to cloth-braided hookup wire.
Both pickups are hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, and vacuum wax potted to kill microphonic squeal at stage volume — because this set is meant to be played loud.
