Anybody try out the Dimarzio Area '58 and '61?

[GilmourD]

I've seen these pickups on their site and I must admit that I'm intrigued. I'm by and large a Duncan user, but I'm interested in giving these a whirl. However, they're fairly new and I haven't even seen reviews of them on Harmony Central, yet... So, who's got the scoop?:reporter:

i read about a test of them on gear page - positive experience ... clip sounded fine ...
would love to hear a head-to-head with the new Duncan Stack Plus to compare / contrast

Do you have a link? How Strat-like did they sound, or did they sound like your typical stack. I'd like to compare them to the SSL-1s, since I'm very familiar with those.

Here's a new clip of the 58's by Harry Jacobson that's sold me. I think they sound incredible! http://www.harryj.net/mary.mp3
