# DiMarzio The Humbucker From Hell DP156

Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/catalog/dimarzio-dp156-humbucker-from-hell

Created primarily as a neck pickup to cure muddy-sounding humbuckers. Official: aside from cancelling 60-cycle hum it bears very little resemblance to a standard humbucking sound; can sound almost acoustic or Strat-like depending on guitar/amp. Alnico 5, 5.89 kΩ.
