Dimarzio is an American company that specializes in manufacturing high-quality guitar and bass pickups, cables, straps and other accessories for musicians.
Dimarzio was founded in 1972 by Larry DiMarzio.
The first pickups produced by the company were used on Gibson guitars used by jazz guitarist Pat Martino.
In the 1980s, Dimarzio gained popularity in the heavy metal scene with their Super Distortion and PAF pickups.
Over the years, the company has collaborated with several well-known musicians and developed innovative technologies to improve the tone of electric guitars.
Today, Dimarzio pickups are used by top guitarists across different genres.

Active pickups require a battery to generate a signal and offer a stronger output, better sustain, and higher gain levels. Passive pickups do not need a battery but have a weaker output and a more natural sound.
Dimarzio pickups are compatible with most electric guitars, but it's best to check their website or seek professional advice before making a purchase.
Dimarzio offers a one-year warranty on all their pickups and accessories. Defective products can be returned for repair or replacement.
