If you'd contact dimarzio support then they'd probably suggest the AT1.
I have the area67, it sounds a lot musical with 250k load but that's just me.
If the 59/C with an A2 mag is not an option then I'd look at Airzone, AT1, Paf36th bridge or Air Classic

I have the Duncan tb6 which is the same as the sh6 distortion just meant for guitars with a floyd rose. I like it alot. It seems to help create more distortion because of its higher output. Watched slot of comparison videos on youtube and I also like the....

I'm currently looking at getting active emgs. I have an hss Jackson and I want the sa sa 81 set or even just deleting the singles and just going with the 81 in the bridge with blanks in the single positions.

My HSS is my everything guitar. When I don't know where gig is going, it always works.
From my point of view..
JB...80s rock sits in the middle of the songs you're playing and it splits incredibly well.
PG or PG plus... Perfect for the songs and others have done a good job explaining the differences in the two.

The choice of pots for dimarzio Area pickups depends how much output you like to get. You can use the Area 58 with 250k volume and tone as long as they are mounted low and they will sound quite warm and smooth. I have such a guitar and I prefer 250k volume and 500k tone pots. If you want more output to balance in a HSS setup 500k volume and tone pots are a better choice. Keeping 250k controls means they are fat sounding, not like strat pickups are supposed to sound. You can read the same meaning where the intructions state "the Area 58 is very sensitive to small height adjustment differences".Last edited by Teleplayer; 06-26-2021, 06:59 AM.

Right now I'm REALLY liking the Perpetual Burn in the bridge with a set of true single coils. Never hear this pickup mentioned for this but have tried it a couple times and it works very very well in particular split with a true single . Solid out put match in full humbucking as well. Had thought the Hybrid split to the Custom coil would be better but quickly found it was NOT and went back to the PB. Would be really nice was a set of Areas have one right now with a pair of Carvin Kiesel AP11's in my DC and have run it with both a SSL 1 and SSL 5's sounded really good with both. The PB is now my go to bucker if I'm splitting with a single.Guitars
Kiesel DC 135, Carvin AE 185, DC 400, DC 127 KOA, DC 127 Quilt Purple, X220C, PRS Custom 24, Washburn USA MG 122 proto , MG 102, MG 120.
Amps PRS Archon 50 head, MT 15, Mesa Subway Rocket, DC-5, Carvin X50B Hot Rod Mod head, Zinky 25watt Blue Velvet combo.

Great choice. You won't be disappointed.Originally posted by Myaccount876Attenuators are for pussies. Neighbors calling the cops isn't a problem - if the cops can actually still decipher the neighbor's complaint on the phone with the Marshall in the background, you're doing it wrong and it needs to be louder.
