The HS-2™ has history behind it. The HS™ series were the first humbucking Strat® replacement pickups we made in the early 1980s. Since then, the HS-2™ has become popular for two distinct qualities: in humbucking mode, it’s got a solid, natural sound that’s cleaner and brighter than a conventional humbucker, while single-coil mode creates one of the best vintage tones around. Because of its patented design, single-coil mode is not as noisy as a standard single-coil pickup. Taken together with the dead-quiet humbucking mode, this is an excellent pickup to use with rack systems and high-gain amps.
In the classic Strat® configuration, the HS-2™ works in all 3 positions. It can also be part of a mixed set with the HS-3™, and HS-4™ models. The HS-2™ also works in H-S-H combinations, recommended with PAF Pro®, FRED®, Air Classic™, and The Humbucker From Hell® in neck and bridge positions.

"My guitar wouldn't be my guitar without my DiMarzios."
LLEXI LEON
“When it comes to pickups, I look for clarity, dynamics, power, and sustain. DiMarzio delivers. The huge range of models allows me to bring out the best in every guitar, and retain those signature DiMarzio traits. Killer.”
FABRIZIO CHIRUZZI
“I was amazed the first time I tested my DiMarzio pickups on my Fender® Highway and Ibanez® RG550. They sounded totally different from the ordinary pickups and especially with my Fender®. Now I can play everything I want without tons of distortion and effects. They give me the right tone in every situation. If I can give people any advice: try to change your cables and electric stuff on your guitar and not only the pickups, you will notice the difference in playing and recording. I'm very proud to be part of their family.”
