Order before 3pm Mon-Thu for Next Day Delivery
Introducing DiMarzio FRED, a pickup designed to take your guitar's tone to a new dimension. Born from the idea of enhancing the midrange of the PAF Pro, FRED evolved into something truly unique, offering harmonic richness and clarity that few pickups can match. Perfect for guitarists seeking a tight, bright, and responsive tone, FRED is a versatile powerhouse that shines in both the neck and bridge positions.
Unleash Unprecedented Harmonics
The FRED humbucker is more than just a modification of the PAF Pro—it's a breakthrough in pickup design. Initially crafted to boost the midrange, FRED unlocked an unexpected tonal secret: it brings out harmonics that typical humbuckers struggle to reproduce, especially when paired with overdriven amps and distortion pedals. This characteristic gives FRED its distinct crank and growl, making it a favorite among players who need their solos to cut through the mix and their rhythm tracks to stay tight and articulate.
Joe Satriani was the first to harness FRED’s potential, using it as his go-to bridge pickup until the Mo' Joe arrived. With FRED, your guitar gains a dynamic edge, responding to every nuance of your playing style. Whether you’re recording in the studio or shredding on stage, FRED delivers a sound that’s both penetrating and clear, making it an exceptional choice for any guitar setup.
