It's a player's preference. I prefer both, actually.
ang nakita ko sa Dimarzio, they go for more modern sounds. while Seymour Duncan goes for the vintage ones. that's just a comparison i read at the Seymour Duncan forums. but that's not a generalization about these pickups. :wink:

not necessarily.
Duncans have a lot more variety in their pickups - they have their Blackouts, P-Rails, Parallel Axis and so on.

kung rock and jazz, sa seymour duncan merong
alnico ii pro jazz model 59's pearly gates p rails
kung dimarzio naman
paf classic paf pro air classic air norton
if i had to choose between the two brands, i'd go for seymour duncan. mas trip ko workmanship nila kesa sa dimarzio. soundwise, i never had a seymour duncan pickup that i never liked. sa dimarzio, i really don't like the x2n and tone zone.

Seymour ako dito. Very transparent ang pickups nila at marami variations. Tsaka nandito din mga paborito kong pups. 59, JB, Custom8, Screaming Demon, Jazz. Lalo na Sh-8 Invader!!!
Title: Re: DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan pups?
Post by: fretburner on December 09, 2009, 07:40:02 PM
^ i would not call the invader "transparent"
Title: Re: DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan pups?
Post by: Bolt Thrower on December 09, 2009, 10:34:50 PM
haha transparent naman ah. klaro naman lahat basta ilagay mo sa tamang purpose niya. 8-)
I heard people do convincing blues with an invader. it has a fistful of mids! although, if you want to hear how versatile it can be especially in an alder bodied guitar, install the seymour duncan triple shot. i was even surprised how clean it could sound.

..each pickup they make is a piece of condiment of what adds to overall flavor of your guitar..
pickups alone doesnt guarantee your guitar will sound good..

i like the warm sound of the PAF Pro. I haven't tried any Seymour Duncans pero ung ibang narinig ko from other's medyo matalas ung tunog e JB ata yun e. Pero I'd like to try a similar sounding pickup to a PAF Pro para lang maiba. Any recommendations?
I just really like the way it could go from blues to metal without a hitch. Just the right mix of bass and mids, every note feels like there is weight to it yet the highs could really scream too. Drawback lang talaga niya is clean. The clean doesn't suck it's just that other pickups may be better for clean tone purpose.
I know a Single or a Single-Hum(for H-S-H 5-way switch) pickup configuration would probably 99 times/100 sound better for clean but i really don't bother when playing live. What can you guys recommend for a pickup that sounds good overdriven as well as clean?

they say the same thing in most of the pick up demos in youtube. tone doesn't vary alone on the pickups installed. consideration must also be taken with what kind of wood the guitar is made of, what kind of metal was used with the hardwares, etc.

trubasser6778 To be fair... The comparison between the PAF Pro and Jazz isn't really fair the pickups are designed to do completely different things. The PAF pro has tons of high end and is a very open sounding pickup where the jazz is designed to be warmer and rounder. I have Dimarzio's and SD's in different guitars. There are many things besides the pickups that make a difference, such as body, neck, and fretboard woods, the amp you use, and of course the players hands.
from the youtube comment..

This is how Philmusicians answer back to a question.
it's just for fun, really.. madami din iba na iba ang sagot bro.. yung ganitong thread kasi, we can only get opinions.. there will be no ultimate conclusion on which brand is really the better among the two.. it's all about preference and what one needs.. :-)
cheers! :-)

Seymour Duncan APH1.
Warm, Round, Smooth distortion sounds. Very articulate. Sounds great at any gain level. Awesome clean tones.

Hindi dahil sa DMZ fan ako ha pero pansin ko lang talaga, sa demos, songs, recordings with SD is maninipis ang tunog.. IMO. Peace! :wink:

Andami mong choices with the two brands. Ang dami ko na ring nasubukan, at mayroon akong gitara na may DiMarzio at SD.
Siguraduhin mo ang spacing na bibilhin mo ay tama sa gitara mo. Ang napansin ko sa DiMarzio ay well suited siya sa Ibanez, lalo na pag yung mga F-Spacing nila para sa mga trem-equipped units nila. Otherwise, ang SD ang mas compatible sa lahat ng brands, regular or Trembucker spaced. Andaming mga nagsasabi na wala namang pinagkaiba pagdating sa spacing... please. Anlaki kaya ng difference.
Recommendations ko:
DiMarzio Neck - PAF Pro, Mo' Joe, Bluesbucker, Air Zone Bridge - Breed, Norton, Tone Zone
SD Neck - Jazz, JB (yes, maganda sa neck din ito), P-Rails neck, '59 Bridge - JB, Custom 5, P-Rails neck or bridge

pagdating naman po sa mga single coil humbucking pups, ano po mas chug chug? sd(lil' 59, lil screamin demon) o dimarzio(tone zone s, super distortion s)? nag hahanap po kasi ako ng medyo mabigat na dating na pup tapos litong lito na ako sa dami ng nakikita ko sa forums at reviews at sa youtube. sana po may makatulong :? :-o

DiMarzio for me. All my guitars are loaded with DiMarzio.
3/4s are loaded with DiMarzio D-Sonic and Air Norton. I found the tone that I want through these DiMarzio models.

I suggest you go full-size! (humbucker)
Iba pa rin kasi power & response ng full-size humbucker. Change your pickguard para magfit! :)
I recommend BREED bridge.

DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan pups?
nsa preferred tonal characteristic yan ng isang musician at siguro itugma na din natin sa type of kahoy na gamit sa isang gitara pati na rin ng overall characteristic nito. though personally, i have this notion na dimarzio are more "edgier", "aggressive", "metal" compared to sd pups which i label as "rock", "melody", "bluesy" and "creamy".. but then again, don't mind me.. it's just me. :lol:

I go for Dimarzio pickups for my Ibanez. Tone Zone really gives it a beefier tone. Pero if i'd go with Seymour Duncans, it would be the PAF style pickups, or their P Rails and P90s. :-) mas madami ako gusto itry na seymour duncan pickups kesa Dimarzio. although, it's all preference talaga ng player.
