The DiMarzio HS-3 Stacked Noiseless Strat Pickup is a smooth, time tested classic metal pickup for your guitar.

The HS-3 has been the weapon of choice for Strat powered classical metal since the early 1980s. Far from being a high output monster, you’ll find it is a smooth and relatively quiet pickup for your guitar that produces a sweet overdrive tone without jagged edges. These qualities combine perfectly with a heavily distorted amp, because your sound won’t get muddy or messy. The HS-3 is also versatile as it’s a noise free pickup, helping you and your audience focus only on the music, whether live or in the studio. It works very well with high gain amps, but the classic setup for it is with an overdrive pedal and a Marshall amp. Your overdrive would boost sustain and distortion and the sound cleans up dramatically for you when the pedal is switched off. Featuring alnico five magnets. It works well in all three positions on a Strat style guitar for a slightly warmer than usual Strat sound. Combines great in middle and neck positions with bridge humbuckers like PAF Pro, PAF and Norton. It has four conductor wiring for parallel humbucking and split coil modes, giving you tons of options. The DiMarzio HS-3 Pickup is a great way to warm up the sound of your strat without any unwanted noise entering your signal chain.
