The legendary sound that electrified Monterey in 1967 lives on through modern innovation. The Monterey Pop Festival marked a pivotal moment in music history, showcasing the unmistakable voice of a Stratocaster® wielded by a true virtuoso. That era’s single-coil pickups were characterised by their brilliant, pristine tone — though they came with the inevitable hum that plagued guitarists of the time.
DiMarzio’s Area 67™ captures that classic bright, clean character whilst completely eliminating unwanted noise through their patented Area™ technology. The pickup’s magnet pull has been reduced by 40%, resulting in enhanced sustain and improved clarity that modern players demand.
This pickup faithfully reproduces the distinctive chime associated with 1960s single-coils, whilst the 2 and 4 selector positions offer that light, bright, and gloriously quacky tone that defined an entire generation of guitar music.
