DiMarzio has released three new Fantom electric guitar pickups, designed to project, according to the company, the classic P90 mid-range grittiness and growl, creamy single-notes and harmonic bloom, but minus the hum.

The new Fantoms work in all positions and are available in three models – soapbar, dog ear or mounted into a full-size humbucking cover.
