Members RothnRoll Posted February 2, 2008 Members Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have been assembling my latest warmoth build and after listening to clips all over the net I have come to this conclusion for my tone The body is Black korina-The neck is Birdseye Maple boatneck. I play Hard Rock/Classic rock.My other guitar is a CS Nocaster .. which is nice but or this build I wanted something with a fierce growl.. DimarzioBridge- Tone zone T - dp389 telecaster bridgeNeck- Area T Neck- dp417 covered and looks like a tele neck Will these match good together (the bridge is ceramic and the neck is alnico)?Has anyone tried this combo?

Dimarzio Bridge- Tone zone T - dp389 telecaster bridge Neck- Area T Neck- dp417 covered and looks like a tele neck Will these match good together (the bridge is ceramic and the neck is alnico)? Has anyone tried this combo? That build sounds cool:thu: Throw some pics up when it's done if you can. Generally speaking Korina is a warm tone wood. Combined with the big maple (bright) boat neck I think you are going to get a killer sounding Tele. My guess would be warm lows with rounded off highs compared to a "standard" tele spec' build I have not tried those pups but have tried other DiMarzio's and like D's in general. Going from the specs the T-zone is going to give you a very FAT bridge pup. Maybe to warm and fat? The Super D sized Tele pup might be a consideration as it has less mids. The super D (imo) is a nice pup. Lots of "bark and balls" so to speak. The Area-T spec's seem to indicate a sweet neck pup for sure. Prol' sound "evenish" across the tone spectrum when combined with the woods the Tele is using. :idk:Seeing on how it is a non-standard Telecaster build what I would do is.....hold off before getting any new pups and install the No-Caster set in the guitar. How the wood combo reacts to the vintage pups would (imo) give you something to base your tone direction on. A springboard of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rock-lobster Posted February 2, 2008 Members Share Posted February 2, 2008 sounds good to me worst case scenario it's still a unique sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted February 2, 2008 Members Share Posted February 2, 2008 sounds good to me worst case scenario it's still a unique sound Hahaha:lol: So true.That reminds me..... DiMarzio has an exchange policy that if you buy em' new and don't like the tones after you install them you can exchange them through the company...so save the recipes.

Members Dom1412 Posted February 2, 2008 Members Share Posted February 2, 2008 The Tone Zone may be a bit too much for korina, but then again people use it successfully in mahogany just by backing it off the strings a bit. So if it is too much for you, give that a try. Other than that, sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CelesteCielo Posted March 15, 2013 Members Share Posted March 15, 2013 Did you ever end up putting those pups together in the same tele? I'm considering doing the same. About to pull the trigger. First build. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
