Humbucking pickups are designed to reduce low-frequency hum from the power lines at 50 - 60 hertz. However, there are often rooms with sources of noise at higher audio frequencies. This “hash” can be distinguished from “hum” by noting that it changes when you adjust your tone control, while line frequency “hum” hardly changes at all. Humbucking pickups do not completely eliminate this high frequency noise.

Full-sized humbuckers with visible coils have a permanent, molded-in color that can not be changed. Most pickups for Strat and Tele replacement have replaceable covers that come in a variety of colors available here. Most other models have non-replaceable covers.

Unless otherwise noted, the standard color for all full-sized Humbuckers, Soap Bars, Tele, Bass and Acoustic pickups is black. The standard color for all Strat replacement pickups is white. The standard finish on pickups with metal covers is polished nickel.

The List Price for DiMarzio® full-size humbuckers applies to black, cream and black/cream only. All other colors and color combinations on full-size humbuckers have a $10 higher List Price. Dealer prices may vary.

Select the Pickups link at the top of this page and navigate to the model that you want. Scroll down to the Color Options section. If metal covers are listed in Color Options, then you can get this model with a factory-installed metal cover.

DiMarzio full-size humbuckers are available in two different spacings for better string-to-pole piece alignment. Guitar makers vary both their bridge and nut dimensions, and offshore production can also be different from USA versions.

The X2N® and D Activator-X™ have solid bar polepieces that work in both normal and F-spaced applications, so these models have "universal" spacing.  All 7-string humbuckers are available F-spaced only. All Parker Fly replacement pickups are F-spaced only.

All of our single-coil-sized pickups are designed for F-spaced applications.

All of our true single-coil pickups are available with reversed polarity and connections at no additional charge.
