Please Note—If you have no previous experience with

wiring or if you feel uncertain how to proceed, we

recommend that a professional do the pickup installation.

IMPORTANT—Area T™ owners see Special Notes on

other side before installing pickups.

General Instructions

•

Some DiMarzio® pickup models are supplied with a BARE or

GRAY ground wire. This wire MUST be connected to the

instrument’s common ground connection, usually on the back

of a control. Bare ground wires must not touch other

connections or terminals. Pickup models that are not supplied

with a separate ground wire do not require one.

• If you have purchased our pickup to replace one that is

currently in your guitar, remove your old pickup carefully.

Installing your new pickup will be much easier if you unsolder

your original pickup cleanly, rather than cut its wires. Make a

note of exactly where the old pickup was connected as, in most

cases, the new one will connect to the same points.

• Use a soldering iron with a fine tip (25 to 45 watts) and thin

rosin core solder for all connections.

• If you intend to use a miniature switch with the pickup, try to be

as clean as possible with the solder connections to avoid short

circuits or damage to the switch. DiMarzio® offers two Push/

Pull Potentiometers, the EP1200PP (250K) and the EP1201PP

(500K) with double-pole, double-throw miniature switches built

in. The switches perform exactly like separate miniature

switches, and we recommend them in situations where you do

not want to drill extra holes in the face or pickguard of your

instrument.

Standard Series Hum Canceling Wiring

IMPORTANT: Although other brands of pickups may have the

same color wires as DiMarzio®, the connections are not

necessarily the same. For our pickup to function properly, you

must follow these instructions.

The wires on all DiMarzio® hum

canceling models are red, black, green,

and white. The actual arrangement of

the coils is shown at right.

The BLACK and WHITE wires of some models have already

been soldered together for you. This connects the two coils in

hum canceling series mode, which is the standard operating

mode for all of these models. If your pickup came with long black

and white wires and you intend to use the pickup only in standard

mode, you should cut the leads to a length of 2-3” (5-7cm) and

carefully strip 1/4” (5 mm) of insulation from the ends. NOTE: Do

not tug on the wire when you strip it; this could damage the

pickup. If you might want to do coil splitting or other wiring

options at some future time, leave the black and white wires full

length. Twist the stripped ends of the BLACK and WHITE wires

together, solder and insulate the connection so it does not touch

any other part of the circuit. Solder the RED wire to the hot

connection in the guitar’s circuit. In most cases where you are

replacing a pickup, the RED wire will be soldered to the same

place as the hot wire of the original pickup. The GREEN wire is

soldered to ground. This ground connection is usually made to

the back of a control.

If you install this pickup in a guitar with other pickups and find the

pickups to be out of phase when they are played together, solder

the RED wire to ground, and the GREEN wire to hot.

Parallel Wiring

Because of the way these models are constructed, parallel (dual

sound) wiring is not a useful option and is not recommended.

Single-Coil Switching (Coil Splitting)

Single-coil mode will produce a slightly brighter and louder sound

than series hum canceling mode, as long as the coil closest to

the strings (the one with red and black wires) remains on. Single-

coil mode is not hum canceling. We do not recommend using the

bottom coil by itself under any circumstances, because the sound

will be extremely weak.

To turn the bottom coil off, you can use the same type DPDT

switch as is used for phase switching, a simpler SPDT switch, or

a push-pull pot. This diagram shows the SPDT type:

The RED wire is the hot output. The GREEN wire is soldered to

ground. Carefully remove the insulation from the black/white

connection and solder a single wire to the connection. This will

be the coil-split wire, which will connect to the split switch. Be

sure to insulate this connection. As only one side of the DPDT

mini-switch is used, you may choose to have two pickups go from

double- to single-coil on one switch, like this:

Again, the GREEN wires from both pickups go to ground. The

RED wires on both pickups are the hot outputs.

To wire a split switch to a reverse-phase model using a SPDT

switch (or one side of a DPDT switch), solder the RED wire to

ground and wire the switch like this:

Phase Switch

Phase switching can only function in an instrument with two or

more pickups. The effect will only occur when both pickups are

on, and will be most obvious when the pickups are at

approximately the same volume. Only one of the pickups should

be wired to the phase switch, and it makes no audible difference

which pickup you choose. The switch is a double-pole, double-

throw type: DPDT (DiMarzio® catalog number EP1106) or push-

pull pot (EP1200PP or EP1201PP):

Component Values

All models were designed to work with 250K controls. For a

brighter overall sound, try 500K controls (EP1201).

For even more highs and overall ‘cut’, try a 500K volume with a 1

Meg tone pot. If you’re mixing these pickups with standard

humbuckers, it’s usually best to use the higher resistance control

value. For the tone controls, we recommend a capacitor value

of .022 µfd or .033 µfd. The .033 value will roll off more high

frequencies than the .022.

Treble Compensation

Many players notice a loss of high frequencies when the volume

control is turned down. To avoid this, install a 560 pF capacitor

alone or with a 300K ohm resistor (270K or 330K will also work)

in parallel across the two “hot” legs of the volume control, as

shown in the drawing. Try to solder these components cleanly to

the legs of the volume control, without breaking the solder

connections that are already present.

Height Adjustment

Height adjustment is a matter of personal preference, and the

following distances should only be taken as recommended

starting points.

Most of these models have Alnico 2 magnets with low magnet

pull, and can be adjusted relatively close to the strings. At the

highest fret (usually the 21

or 22

), the closest recommended

distances from the top of the magnet to the bottom of the string

are: neck and middle pickups low E 3/32” (2.4 mm), high E

1/16” (1.6 mm), bridge pickup low E 1/16” (1.6 mm), high E

3/64” (1.2 mm). These settings will provide a lot of presence and

attack. For a more open 1950s sound, try adjusting the pickups

1/32” (0.8 mm) further from the strings.

The Virtual Solo™ and HS™ models use alnico 5 magnets with

higher magnet pull. The closest recommended distances are:

neck and middle positions low E 1/8” (3.2 mm), high E 3/32” (2.4

mm), bridge position low E 3/32” (2.4 mm), high E 1/16” (1.6

mm).

Special Note for Area T™ Bridge & Area Hot T™

Some older Telecaster

guitars and vintage reissues do not

ground the bridge assembly with a wire. The grounding was

accomplished via a metal plate on the bottom of many Tele

bridge pickups. The Area T™ does not have this plate, but it is

still important that the bridge be grounded to eliminate noise. If

there is no independent ground wire running from the underside

of the bridge to the control assembly, you must run an insulated

wire from the back of the volume control through the bridge

pickup cable exit and strip 1-2 inches (3-5 cm) of insulation from

the end. Place the bare portion of the wire between the bridge

and the face of the guitar so it is held securely when the bridge is

screwed back to the guitar body after the new pickup is installed.

Special Note for Area T™ Neck

The mounting dimensions of this model are based on U.S.-made

Fender Telecasters

. Some pickguards from other sources may

have a slot for the neck pickup that is too narrow to fit this pickup.

The recommended width for the pickguard slot is .610” (15.5

mm). If the slot is too narrow, it should be widened with

sandpaper or a file prior to pickup installation. Do not force the

pickup through the slot if the slot is too narrow.

Additional Notes

Wiring diagrams and technical information may be found on our

website: www.dimarzio.com

All DiMarzio® pickups have been potted in an exclusive

penetrating formula to eliminate squeal and subdue extraneous

noise. For further noise reduction, we recommend shielding the

entire guitar internally with DiMarzio® Shielding Tape (EP1000).

This will eliminate stray hum fields from the circuitry of your

guitar.
