DiMarzio Super Distortion T Hum-Cancelling Telecaster Bridge Pickup – Black, Cream

DiMarzio Super Distortion T Hum-Cancelling Telecaster Bridge Pickup – Black, Cream

Bring legendary high-output humbucker performance to your Telecaster-style electric guitar with the DiMarzio DP318 Super Distortion T Bridge Pickup, a powerful replacement pickup designed to combine aggressive rock tones with the convenience of a traditional Telecaster bridge pickup format. Inspired by DiMarzio’s iconic full-size Super Distortion humbucker, the Super Distortion T delivers thick, commanding sound while retaining the compact dimensions required for compatible Telecaster-style instruments.

Developed specifically for the angled bridge pickup position of a traditional Telecaster, the Super Distortion T features a carefully tuned magnetic and coil design that produces a powerful, articulate response. Its tonal character combines a tight, controlled low end with rich midrange frequencies and smooth treble, making it particularly suitable for rock, hard rock, and high-gain guitar performances.

Equipped with a ceramic magnet and dual-blade pole pieces, this pickup provides continuous magnetic coverage across the strings. The blade-style construction helps maintain a consistent response during expressive string bends, while its hum-cancelling design reduces unwanted electrical noise compared with conventional single-coil pickups.

With a manufacturer-rated 325mV output, the Super Distortion T delivers a strong signal suitable for driving compatible amplifiers into overdrive. Unlike the full-size Super Distortion, this model is specifically voiced to compensate for its slanted mounting position, offering smoother treble and a tighter bass response.

The pickup also features four-conductor wiring, allowing guitarists to explore additional tonal possibilities through series humbucking, parallel humbucking, and coil-splitting configurations when installed with suitable switching electronics. This provides flexibility for musicians who want powerful humbucker tones alongside brighter, more open sounds.

Designed for the bridge position of compatible solid-body Telecaster-style guitars, the DP318 offers a practical upgrade for players seeking increased output without converting their instrument to accommodate a full-size humbucker.

Available in Black (DP318BK) and Cream (DP318CR), both versions share the same magnetic construction, electronics, and intended tonal characteristics. Whether you’re upgrading an existing Telecaster or building a versatile rock-oriented instrument, the DiMarzio Super Distortion T delivers powerful output, controlled articulation, and classic humbucker character in a compact Telecaster bridge pickup.
