A Pickup Born from Eric Johnson's Demands

Eric Johnson is known for his obsessive quest for tone. Although associated with the Strat, he has always also played Gibson Les Pauls, aiming to achieve a color reminiscent of an old Gretsch Country Gentleman. It is precisely from this search that the DiMarzio DP212 EJ Custom Bridge was born: a pickup designed to bring brightness, presence, and premium articulation, while maintaining a musical and balanced humbucker foundation.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The DP212 is a bridge pickup tailored for guitarists who want a rich and precise high end, ideal for bringing out pick attack and nuances. It excels in clean tones (clear attacks, readable chords) and remains impressive when pushing gain: definition stays solid even with heavy distortion. Its behavior also makes it very relevant on acoustic guitars, where clarity and dynamics are essential.

A Vintage Response... with a Brighter Signature

With a resistance close to a PAF, this model stands out by two key points: a lower output level and a brighter sound than a classic vintage humbucker. The result: a treble response comparable to that of a traditional single coil, but with a firmer low end. The 4-wire wiring also allows for more advanced configurations depending on your electronics (splits and combinations), to further tailor your tonal palette.
