Signature Tone with Enhanced Depth and Clarity
The DiMarzio DP226AW Billy Corgan BC-2 Bridge Pickup AW is the result of a meticulous collaboration with the Smashing Pumpkins’ frontman, Billy Corgan. Designed to meet the exacting standards of one of rock’s most iconic guitarists, this pickup brings a refined balance of power and clarity to your Strat®, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles.
