**NO LONGER AVAILABLE** Dimarzio Bluesbucker Fly Pickup $72
Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2024 4:40 pm
Being as I'm currently going through my parts boxes and listing spare pickups I don't see myself using in future projects, this Fly-specific Bluesbucker (DP163) I bought for the neck position of my Supreme in 2020 may as well go here in the Classifieds. Because the two Flys I have are outfitted with Sustainiac pickups, and I already have a different Bluesbucker with a baseplate I modified to fit Fly routs, this one seems more likely to sell on the auction block.
For any unaware: The Bluesbucker's neck-facing bobbin is a 7kΩ, ceramic magnet single coil with a sound comparable to a Fender Texas Special. The other bobbin is strictly for hum-cancelling; with 3kΩ of wire and non-magnetized dummy slugs. In series, the humbucker sounds somewhere between a P90 and a PAF. When split, it sounds like an aggressive, bluesy single coil. I favor these pickups in 24 fret guitars; because most of the sound is generated by the bobbin closest to the end of the fretboard.
I paid $97.81 for this after tax in 2020. Because $72 is the cheapest Bluesbucker listing I can find, I'm listing this and my other DP163s for that price.
