How Larry DiMarzio’s pickup revolution defined the sound of 1970s guitar rock

And I have really never used dimarzio’s before. The past four or five guitars I’ve gotten have been loaded with them. They are great. I usually go with Seymour or emg but honestly…I will definitely be going through the dimarzio catalog when I am looking for a pickup.
 
DiMarzio are always my first choice when I replace pickups.

I'm considering a Super Distortion (bridge) and Super 2 (neck) ... I just hate doing the work lol
 
I had a super distortion in that bc rich and I can’t remember the neck one but they sounded good bwah….

Classic combination for good reason!

The Super 2 is also a killer bridge pickup if you like bright pickups. I love it in the bridge of a Les Paul.

I thought of that, but that it might be too bright in the bridge; DiMarzio designed the Super 2 for a neck pickup to pair with the Super Distortion in the bridge IIRC. I think this would be more balanced; and avoid a "woofy / muffled" neck pickup.
