The DiMarzio Super 2 is a hot ceramic humbucker introduced in 1977, voiced like a Super Distortion with the EQ tilted toward the highs. The brighter top and tighter low end are meant to offset the darker tone of a neck position, especially on 24¾-inch two-humbucker guitars. It is a 4-conductor pickup with 8.7 kOhm DC resistance and 400 mV output, so it splits and runs in parallel. It suits players who want a hot neck pickup that stays clear under gain rather than a vintage-voiced PAF.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 across 30 ratings, the Super 2 is generally well received as a hot neck pickup. Owners tend to value its clarity under gain and its fit in dark-sounding guitars.
The DiMarzio Super 2 is a passive humbucker for 6-string electric guitars. It has a ceramic magnet and F-spaced pole pieces. It starts from the classic Super Distortion sound and moves the EQ toward the high end, giving a brighter top and a tighter bottom.
This version is made for the neck position, where it balances the darker tone typical of that spot. It can clean up the overdriven sound of a mud-heavy 24¾" scale, two-humbucker guitar. It can also add snap to a dark-sounding 25½" bolt-on. It also works in the bridge position.
In the neck position, use it with a bridge pickup of equal or higher power. In the bridge position, pair it with a pickup of equal or lower power, such as the PAF Pro, FRED or Evolution Neck.
