DiMarzio Super Distortion T Review (DP318) - Humbucker Soup

humbuckersoup.com

If your Tele needs teeth, the DiMarzio DP318 Super Distortion T is a rock-ready powerhouse that delivers hot, husky tones without altering your guitar's classic look. This single-coil-sized pickup pushes your Tele into blues and rock territory with thick mids, tight lows, and a smooth top end. It excels in hum-canceling, making it ideal for high-gain stages. While it won't match a full-size Super Distortion, its rail design ensures even string response and zero hum. Split and parallel modes offer versatility, though full-series humbucking is where it truly shines. Not for vintage twang lovers, but a must-buy for those wanting their Tele to rock.
