Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.36% — somewhat different

The DiMarzio Area 67 is a single-coil-sized pickup engineered to deliver classic single-coil Strat-style tone while significantly reducing the 60-cycle hum that plagues true vintage single-coil designs, using DiMarzio's noise-cancelling coil technology. It targets players wanting authentic vintage single-coil character and quack without the noise issues inherent to unshielded original-style pickups.
The DiMarzio HS-2, catalogue number DP116, is a humbucker-sized pickup built with a stacked single-coil design, aiming to deliver single-coil clarity and quack while cancelling the 60-cycle hum that plagues true single-coils, without requiring the routing changes a full humbucker conversion demands. That makes it a common upgrade for guitars built around single-coil-sized pickup cavities where players want more noise immunity. Both Phil Collen of Def Leppard and Eric Johnson, known for very different but equally exacting clean and lead tones, are associated with this pickup.
