A DiMarzio classic adapted to the Telecaster since 2003

Introduced in 2003, the Tone Zone T DP389BK transposes the spirit of the original Tone Zone into a pickup with a Telecaster format. The goal: to offer a denser and more powerful alternative to the traditional bridge pickup, while remaining easy to integrate into a Tele setup.

Who is this bridge pickup for?

The DP389 is a bridge pickup aimed at guitarists who appreciate the clear response of a Telecaster but want more body, output level, and presence for rock, hard rock, blues with bite, or lead tones. It is also ideal if you want to thicken a Tele that's too bright when overdriven or gain sustain without changing guitars.

Humbucker in single-coil size: power, dynamics, and wiring options

With its ceramic magnet and output level of 300 mV, the Tone Zone T drives the amp with authority while maintaining a clear pick attack. Its balance clearly emphasizes mids and bass, providing grain, thickness, and a very pronounced "humbucker" feel, rare on a Telecaster.

The 4-conductor wiring opens several possibilities (including coil splitting): in single-coil mode, you can return to a more authentic and sharper tone, ideal for snappy rhythm playing. In humbucker mode, you get a wider and denser sound, perfect for riffs, power chords, and solos that need to stay full in the mix.
