Dimarzios to match with Custom Custom ?

[DemonOfTheFall]

Ok, so here's the deal:
My local SD dealer does not have any single coil / single coil sized humbucker SD pickups in stock. I just got a Custom Custom for my birthday and I'm dying to put in my H-S-S Cort 250. I was looking to buy the vintage rails for the middle and the cool rails for the neck, but evidently I do not have that option now. The dealer is not certain that the next shipment will have any of the SD pickups I want, so I might potentially have to wait for up to 2.5 months before I can fix these. I'm going crazy oed:

Is there any Dimarzio pickup that you would recommend for the neck with a similar tone? Alternately, are there any sites that will ship the SD pickups internationally at a reasonable price? :dot:

Thanks.

Out of the Dimarzio's I've tried, I'd go with the Pro Track in the neck and the Fast Track 1 in the middle.

I dunno what you'd consider a reasonable price, but this doesn't look all that bad, all things considered:

Worldwide shipping for $10, and their feedback ratings are in the stratosphere, so I don't think you need worry about getting ripped off. Probably be there in a few weeks, tops, and more likely a lot quicker than that.

Ah that's easy- Crusier or the next hotter on up in ohms (dont remmber the name)-

Beautiful clear strat, clear clean and thins out well if you spin a split- I've thougth about exactly this combon many times for anything from blues to classic to clean.

In compaison the cool rails is much hotter and more middy-

Thanks for that link - I guess I didn't search eBay carefully. $70 + shipping sounds good.. atleast I'm not at the mercy of the dealer here. :beerchug:

Why don't you just call forum bro dealers Lew, MartinSixStringCustoms(Matt is great to deal with) or Black Rose?

They probably have the Duncans in stock... Priority Mail usually only takes 2- days...

Hmm, so a Cruiser or ProTrack would sound more balanced.. time to head to the Dimarzio distributor tomorrow to check it out. :thanks:
