Dimarzio Chopper T

Has anyone tried this pickup and if so what were your likes and dislikes?

Fast Track T

I've used a Fast Track T in the one of my Tele's for years. The chopper has less top end & more mids. The Fast Track is more Strat like but it makes a great bridge pickup for my DeArmond neck pickup.

I had one

I really liked the chopper T, I had it in my tele with a twang king and it was a really good mix. High gain, not as sparkly as a normal tele pickup though. More of a rock pickup!

i got a Fast Track T years ago on the recommendation of a fellow TDP'er - pretty good 'updated' Tele sound - dynamics are a little different than a true single coil, but still a great pickup.

another fellow TDP'er, Timbo, was pretty crazy about the Chopper T. His fave pickup at the time was the HD Super 90, but i remember him stating that the Chopper does about 80 some percent of what the S90 does (plus it's hum cancelling!).

now Timbo was a real nut with trying out every pickup out there, so the Chopper T must have really been something, at least to him. probably a good testament to at least give it a try.
