DiMarzio DP381 Fast Track T Telecaster Bridge Pickup
We are proud to be an official DiMarzio reseller.
At RILG's we mainly specialize in FCS and vintage style Fender gear. Personally, I'm a purest in all things vintage and vintage accurate Fender. But in the spirit of Leo Fender, we also want to embrace innovation while still paying homage to the "Golden Years" of guitars.
DiMarzio is one of the few long running USA Made OEM's out there. I truly respect their commitment to pushing sonic boundaries, integrity and backing all their products with one of the best warranties out there. When we at RILG were privileged to become a DiMarzio dealer, we wanted to bring in products that pair well with lower output vintage single coil pickups and traditional style Fender Strats and S-Type guitars.
We focused our DiMarzio selection primarily on the bridge pickup. This is one of the areas a Strat can lack power. With that said, if you are looking for a fuller sound, a little bit more muscle and smoother frequencies give our curated DiMarzio selection a look.
The Fast Track T - Telecaster Bridge Pickup
The Fast Track T™ is hotter than most single-coil Tele® bridge pickups, but it has way more twang and snap than a humbucking pickup ought to have. We pulled this trick off by combining patented dual-resonance coils (less DC resistance than a standard Tele® single-coil) with twin-blade poles for less string-pull than standard rod magnets. It all means more sustain, cleaner highs and tighter bass. It may not look like a traditional Tele® bridge pickup, but if outstanding hum-free performance is the goal, the Fast Track T™ is a clear winner.
Different control resistance values will yield a wide range of tones with the Fast Track 2™. 250K controls (the usual value on most Tele® guitars) will produce a fairly warm sound without much high-end bite: a 500K volume and 1 Megohm tone will be very twangy. 500K volume and 250K tone produce a more balanced tone.
