A DiMarzio Classic Designed to "Boost" a Strat Since 1996
Introduced in 1996, the DiMarzio Pro Track DP188W has established itself as a very popular pickup for those seeking a humbucker-style warmth in a guitar with Strat routing. Its compact format adds true harmonic density and a nice thickness while maintaining a perfectly clean integration into a single-coil slot.
For Which Styles and Guitarists?
Thanks to its comfortable output level, the DP188W can be installed in the neck, middle, or bridge positions. It excels in moderate overdrives : precise attacks, present mids, and a natural sustain feel. In the bridge position, it becomes an excellent choice for muscular blues and expressive rock, maintaining good control in the upper spectrum.
Design and Sonic Character: PAF Warmth, Strat Format, Versatile Wiring
The Pro Track combines a ceramic magnet and a humbucker design to deliver a thicker sound than a traditional single coil, with excellent definition. Its profile emphasizes well-rooted mids, solid lows, and controlled highs (Highs 5.5 / Mids 6.55 / Lows 6.5), making it particularly comfortable transitioning from warm tones to more biting rhythms. The 4-conductor wiring opens the door to highly versatile configurations, perfect for adapting your Strat to various genres, from blues to heavy.
