Higher Output = non-vintage tone?

Re: Higher Output = non-vintage tone?

dude, dimarzio 36th anniversary set.
seriously.

paf-ish with a bit more mids. higher output, but not crazy. I think they are 7.3k/250mv neck and 8.6k/285mv bridge. slightly hotter than paf territory. they have the touch sensitivity you are looking for too. work great for everything except modern metal. I guess megadeth would be about the heaviest they go? something like that.

I like them so much, I am ordering two more sets.

...and just like Seths, the neck model makes a nice bridge pickup, for those who want less output (heavy handed players using low headroom amps, for example).
 
Re: Higher Output = non-vintage tone?

Seymour Duncan uses the word 'vintage' to describe lower output pickups, not just those from a specific era.

Well, since its been so long since the 50s, maybe they should change it to "Ancient"
