DiMarzio DP184 Chopper CR

I bought the chopper along with the super DP100 for my Floyd rose Mex strat.
The chopper was designed as a bridge pickup but works well in the neck position with a hot pickup in the bridge.My first impressions are good,l ran my guitar through my mixing desk so l could really hear the tone of only the chopper without any effect from an external amp or pedals.The low end is big and tight with just the right mix of mid and yet still retained good treble balance despite being in the neck position.Really nice for jazzy chords and scale runs the sound is silky smooth and the individual notes don,t get loss. The pickup still has some nice strat single coil characteristics yet with a much fatter tone and of course no hum. l would say it works well for lets say blues,jazz and classic rock tones.
All in all a great little pickup for what I wanted,hope my review has helped in your quest

OK, I am playing DiMarzio's pickups since 1986. Have two guitars with other brands pickups, one with Duncans, one with Kinmans. But I love Dimarzios for they natural, bit woody sound.

Chopper is no exception. Great sounding, well balanced pickup. Used by most people in bridge position. Kotzen is using it like that on his Tele.
I cannot play like him, and I am using Choppers on two of my HSS equipped guitars in the neck position.
They are really great, paired with PAF 36th Anniversary (bridge) and Area 67 in the middle. (I came to that solution, as I was not willing to cut the wood, to be able to fit standard humbucker in the neck position).

To sum the Chopper up:
- balanced sound (not too bright and not too bassy)
- great sustain
- super dynamic
- lot of harmonics
- versatile (designed with bridge position in mind, but works perfectly in the neck position also)
