Super DistortionxAE S DP218BK.

The Super DistortionxAE S offers the performance of the famous Super DistortionxAE in a humbucking StratxAE bridge direct replacement-size pickup. We've built in the same blend of power and tone that made the original Super DistortionxAE the worldwide standard for high-output humbuckers. We also tweaked the sound to take into account the fact that the Super DistortionxAE S will be installed in the classic slanted bridge position. The new model has 4-conductor wiring for parallel humbucking and split-coil modes, and makes a great bridge position combination with the Pro Track™, The Chopper™, and Fast Track 1™.

Recommended for Bridge position in solid body guitars, can also be used in neck and middle.

Tech Talk:
Since the Super DistortionxAE S will usually be installed in the slanted bridge position of a 25xBDx94 scale guitar, we’ve adjusted the specs of the original Super DistortionxAE humbuckers to compensate. Treble response is smoother, and bass response is tighter. Because of their narrow magnetic fields, dual-blade StratxAE replacements are not generally well-known for their splitting ability. However, the Super DistortionxAE S has a very good single-coil sound in split mode that isn’t brittle or weak.
