DiMarzio is best known around the world for their superb direct replacement guitar pickups which can completely transform an otherwise mediocre low-end guitar into a force to be reckoned with. They have long been the household name for outstanding pickups with renowned users such as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert. The company also produces other high-quality guitar accessories, such as cables, straps and an array of hardware and components.

As its name suggests, The DiMarzio DP172 Twang King Neck Pickup captures the best elements of Broadcaster and Telecaster sounds. The Twang King pickups have unequalled response to pick attack. DiMarzio accomplished this with a combination of controlled-tension coil-winding, special wire, and hand-calibrated magnets. The neck pickup comes with a chrome cover and is wax-potted twice for squeal-free performance.
