DiMarzio DP136 Super Natural Plus Soundhole Passive Acoustic Guitar Pickup

Gearank Recommendation

The DP136 appeared on our recommended list for Acoustic Guitar Pickups from October 2017 until September 2021 when it was out-ranked by other options.

Overview

The DiMarzio DP136 Super Natural Plus Soundhole pickup has several similarities with the DP138 including the mounting and 10-foot cable.

Compared to the DP138, the pickup is more focused, with a tighter bass and a greater high-mid and treble presence.

For those who want to brighten up a dark sounding acoustic or want added shimmer to cut through the band mix, the DP136 is a good choice. Because of the hassle-free installation, vintage instruments won't need any modifications.
