DiMarzio DP110AW FS1 Single Coil Pickup, Aged White

For players who find a traditional Strat® bridge pickup a little too sharp or piercing, the DiMarzio FS-1™ offers the perfect remedy. Delivering approximately 25% more output than a vintage-style single coil, it fattens your tone with fuller mids, stronger bass response and smoother highs while retaining the clarity Strat® players love. The result is a bridge voice that hits harder, punches bigger and still cleans up beautifully when you roll back the volume.

Key Features

• More power and presence than stock Strat® single coils
• Smoother high end that eliminates harshness
• Fuller mids and bass for bolder lead and rhythm tones
• Maintains classic clarity and dynamics
• Ideal fix for overly bright maple-neck Strats®

Tone Character

The FS-1™ is not designed as a vintage replica, but a modern evolution of the Strat® single-coil voice:

• Less glassy bite and more body
• Enhanced midrange perfect for blues and rock phrasing
• Satisfying low-end support for rhythm depth and lead authority
• Responsive volume roll-off for genuine clean tones

This makes it a standout choice if you want Strat® articulation without the brittle top end.

Pickup Pairing Ideas

With True Velvet™ in the neck and middle, the FS-1™ completes a calibrated set offering balanced output across all five switch positions.
For a bigger, more assertive sound, FS-1™ pickups can be installed in all three positions for thicker single-coil crunch without losing identity.

Versatile in Any Position

• Bridge-only upgrade for taming harsh trebles
• Neck or middle installation for more output and warmth
• Works beautifully in maple-neck Strats® that lean too bright

The DiMarzio FS-1™ is the ideal choice for players who want a thicker, smoother and more dynamic single-coil voice without abandoning Strat® character. From expressive blues to muscular classic rock, it delivers warmth, punch and clarity in equal measure.
