DiMarzio DP 259FBK Titan Bridge black

I ordered one from Thomann and opened the box. But in the end, I didn't install it. An acquaintance of mine had a guitar equipped with such a pickup. He intended it to be sold. I borrowed it from him. And I have to say, this is not my world. I can recommend it for a guitar with a very dark pain, but... If you're looking for a pickup for tech death, metalcore and other genres, I recommend the D activator.

Use:
I initially bought this in order to replace the bridge pickup on my Ibanez RG 370DX, but over time it ended up in an H-S Strat build that I have. I have to say, this is, by far, the best metal pickup I have come across so far:

Pros:
- Extremely Articulate;
- Medium Output - great note definition;
- F sized, perfect for all kinds of trems from strat types to Floyd Rose and Ibanez Edge;
- Obnoxiously aggressive sound through both high gain amps and amp simulation plugins;
- Very good chug sound for those interested in that aspect;
- Splittable - and it offers fantastic cleans;
- Yes, it djents.

Cons:
- None that I can think of regarding my own tastes, however:
- There is a strong mid-range punch in it that may not be suitable for old school metal tones;
- The fact that it is medium output may also mean that you may need to over-saturate an amplifier using a boost or overdrive pedal.

Conclusion:
For modern metal, ranging from Gojira to the new Megadeth records, Ola Englund's Feared and, obviously, Periphery, this pickup can easily do it all and the price is very good!

Pros:
The pickup is dead quiet. I know it should be normal for a humbucking pickup to not hum but my Ibanez inf was noisy as hell. I don't know if this being with ceramic magnet helps but it's amazing.
You have plenty of options to wire it. I'm experimenting with parallel wiring for now.

Cons:
I can't think of any.

P.S.
I wanted to put cover on the pickup but later found out that DiMarzio f spaced pickups have 51mm spacing between poles and my cover won't fit this.
