A DiMarzio Classic Introduced in 1974
Introduced in 1974, the DiMarzio FS-1 established itself as a powerful alternative to the traditional single coil: it retains the typical single coil dynamics and precision while gaining density and output level. In white finish, it blends perfectly with light pickguards and guitars with a vintage look.
Who the FS-1 is For and How to Use It
The DP110 suits guitarists who appreciate expressive and nuanced tones: blues, classic rock, biting funk, and anything that requires a "stronger" single coil without veering into a too modern sound. By adjusting the volume, you can switch from an articulate clean tone to a warm, singing crunch, very useful live for varying your sound without changing channels.
Combinations and Position Balance
The DP110 can be installed in the neck, middle, or bridge positions. For a balanced set across the 5 positions of a Strat-type selector, it can be paired with a True Velvet in the middle and neck positions to achieve a coherent and balanced sound. If you seek a denser and more aggressive tone, installing the FS-1 in all three positions helps to even out output levels and enhance the grain across the entire guitar.
