[drew_half_empty]

The Chopper is going to be cleaner and brighter than the HR. The closes thing Dimarzio makes to the HR is the Fast Track 2.

i have the HR in my tele, tonally, it's very diff from the chopper- very chunky bottom end while maintaining a healthy midrange (lacking for some of us, to me just right).

the chopper has that typical smooth midrange inherent in Dimarzios IMO, i didn't want that in my tele, the reason i avoided it. otherwise both the units here make very interesting tele tones.

I don't think the hotrail is suited for rythm unless it's distorted..
