DiMarzio Releases Satchur8 DP273 Humbucker

Staten Island, N.Y., January 17, 2018 – DiMarzio, Inc. announces the release of the Satchur8™ (DP273F) hum-canceling pickup for electric guitars.
These days, you can get humbuckers tuned for just about any specific sound — modern, vintage, warm, bright — from blistering harmonics to hammering chug. The Satchur8™ was designed for guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, and it has an expressive attack with a warm, sweet singing lead tone. It can go big when you need it and get quiet when you back off.
When we started this project, we chose an Alnico 8 magnet because it has lots of output, with a buttery smooth mid-range, deep, full-bodied bass, and a warm, singing solo tone that suits Joe’s playing style. Additionally, the coils were tuned to Joe’s sound. The rich output of the Alnico 8 magnet makes the Satchur8™ great for hot humbucking tones.
The Satchur8™ is smooth yet bright, with plenty of clarity and distinction. It’s loaded with dynamics, and notes have weight and authority. Joe says the Satchur8™ is the richest, most complete sounding pickup he’s ever used. “I wish we could just say, ‘This pickup sounds effing great!’”
The Satchur8™ is available in F-spacing only.
DiMarzio’s Satchur8™ pickup is made in the U.S.A. and may now be ordered for immediate delivery. Suggested List Price is $114.99 each (MAP $79.99). For more information about the new Satchur8™ pickup, please visit our website at www.dimarzio.com.
