Seymour Duncans give that sound in your head vibes....... don't know what it is but a familiar sound......
And Dimarzios are okay but offer no "sound in your head vibes"......
Being a WestCoast dude...... always initially tried to dig Dimarzios...... because that's what even my friends on the WestCoast would say is the best...... None in my circle really cared for Duncans and I always rotated around Dimarzios as the best...... even though the same WestCoast guys would pick Ernie Ball over Daddario..... they picked Dimarzio over Duncans for the most part.....
But in general and me personally not so much of a WestCoast thing but in general everytime I try a Duncan it provides that "sound in your head vibes" much like Gibson pups too.... just a real, familiar, classic tone and hard to explain.
Seymour Duncans simply get that vibe Dimarzios never can or could for me......
But YMMV
