Just made a quick comparison video so folks can hear how these pickups sound.
I'm not a lefty, nor are these lefty guitars. I used the front phone camera to record this, and it makes everything backward 🤷♂️

Personally prefer the di marzios, slightly warmer and more of an accurate representation of his best period.But it's not a deal breaker.
I was only looking for demo with heavy riffing. You made it happen! Thank you for that :)
Thanks for watching and commenting! The clarity you get from the YJM pickups of any time is awesome in comparison to traditional humbuckers for sure!
I had a fury in a guitar a while ago. The Duncan Fury more like a traditional humbucker have higher output stacked and breaks up more with lower fatter low end bar chords than the HS 3. Single note runs are more distinct with the mid range punchy Dimarzio HS 3. Overall similar tone at first but the fury loses its tone more when overdriven on the low end.
SD slightly smoother but duller , The HS are a bit more open with the very specific Malmsteen character
DiMarzio does not get "muddy" when you distort it with a lot of gain which gives each note much more clearlity, something that is vital if you want to have a bright yet distorted sound (very useful if you play fast like YJM for example). You can hear how the sound of each string somewhat overlaps each other creating a messier sound with Duncan YJM
. DiMarzio sounds weaker though but thats where you put pre-amp gain into the formula (YJM used the DoD 250 pedal for example).
Very true, but with the Duncan you can just roll off the volume when you want and have very similar articulated notes, then turn it up when you want more volume. Both are still very low output pickups compared to what's out there
@@xounlistedxox hmm yeah thats a good point.
Great Video Brandon! Any tips on setting pickup heights for the YJM's or do you just treat them like any other strat pickup?
I put them as high as possible before they start to mess with the tuning or sustain, same as any other pickup
Siedzę w Dimarzio Malmsteena i dobrze mówisz. Ja ostatecznie wybieram optymalny dla mnie set: HS3-B i HS2-N. Widzę, że dzielimy tę sama pasję - cieszę się, że Cię poznałem :)
I enjoy almost all pickups for a variety of reasons, but for the Malmsteen pickups I really like the YJM Fury. I enjoy saturated gain sounds, but of course for that classic YJM sound you have to have the old HS-3! It appears we share a similar interest in YJM guitars!
@@xounlistedxox Dokładnie tak :) Dzięki.
Difficult to tell on this vid but i prefer the dimarzios having played both.
To me they represent the best tone malmsteen had and seem more buttery and fluid with more note clarity.
It;s a bit like comparing a PAF to a hotter vesrion,you can always gain up the PAF and it retains that !sweetness" but it's difficult to make a hotter pickup !sweet!!
I still think there was a financial motivation for Malmsteen to swap providers,just my opinion!
ive heard he prefers the dimarzios too but hes selling the fury set for sd so hes under contract to have them visible in his guitars and to publicly claim to be using them. i wouldn't be surprised if he had some dimarzios with the fury logo on them. im putting together a new malmsteen strat ive been debating which pickups i will go with im going with the dimarzio. one main reason is im a pickup builder myself and 25kDC resistance is just to much high roll off and too much mids. i want more body and clarity.
Great video ✌
Thank you, much appreciated!
My first guitar was a1964 preCBS Fender Mustang which I replaced the original pick-ups with SDS Dimarzios! I still have it and they still sound marvelous! They cut through the mix like a hot knife ! Always have and always will! I used a 1st issue MXR Distortion + original. Awesome searing true tones with extra sustainability. Back in the day of course(1965) and when your 8 yrs old, you don't know what Too loud is 😂 lmao! Peace ✌🏻
ah, im just here for the free coffee and donuts
Dimarzio for sure! It retained clarity under high gain, at least to my ears.
Yes, the lower output absolutely helps in the clarity realm!
I have a new model with the Duncan pups ..I tried an older one with the dimarzios …I actually like them better..
Lots of folks do, If I were trying to get a lot more precise note definition I'd definition fo DiMarzio. I'm not a super technical player, so I like the sloshing effect I get from the more gain. Hides all my mistakes better 🤣
The phone and RUclips compression doesn’t help to ear any difference... but from the general specs DiMarzio has a lower output than Seymour Duncan YJM...
If you listen on good quality speakers, you'll definitely hear a difference
Nice guitar tone. What guitar amp you using?
Thank you! This was my Krank Krankenstein
Great clip ! There is definitely a difference between them . DiMarzio sound thicker / somehow fatter and the SD sound brighter and maybe a little more output than DiMarzio but not too much !
Can you make please another clip where you will compare on the same riff all the YJM Strats US versions , all the four versions of US YJM Strats ?
@@danaeverhart6487 Really ? I don't think so . Maybe you should consider the fact the HS3 pickups are meant to be boosted . They don
@@danaeverhart6487 I mean they don't sound on their own without the od boost because are very low output . But when are boosted with an od they sound big , there's not big difference between a low output HS boosted with an od abd EMG 81 (active) . See the comparation clip below (HS3 boosted vs EMG81) , you will know what i say :

Nice demo,Man!the Duncans,have a lot more low end and presence,noticeably,but the HS3's are still very good,I guess turn up the amp a little bit more. ✌😊
Much appreciated, thanks for watching! Absolutely, much more meat with the Duncan's, more full sounding, but yes both very good
Great video. Is the first guitar you played a Fender Standard Strat that you had scalloped?
I did scallop my first fender strat myself, as well as a guitar that I built in the 90's!
@@xounlistedxox That’s awesome, man. I always wanted a scalloped strat because I’m a huge Malmsteen and Blackmore fan, but I have never had the opportunity to try one. I’m thinking of taking a chance and ordering a scalloped strat neck from Warmoth.
@@charlief. Definitely worth trying for any guitarist at some point. It's actually harder to play, but as a result will change how you play. You'll play with a lighter touch, which actually makes strings last longer, frets wear slower etc.
@@xounlistedxox That sounds great. Thanks for the information.
@@charlief. any time!
Awesome
Much appreciated!
Both sound good but the Dimarzio sounds clearer and more articulate and takes distortion better. Not muddy like the Duncans. Dimarzio HS3 is the clear winner.
Absolutely, they're definitely more clear and precise! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have Dimarzio YJM pickups. I don’t use them as the sustain is really bad.
They need to be pumped up with boost, preferably the Fender YJM pedal!
Which one best setup Bridge HS3 Neck HS4 or Bridge HS3 Neck HS3
Excellent questions! Thanks for watching and commenting! IMO the HS-3 and HS-4 are so similar in sound that not many people will notice the tonal difference. IIRC, the only difference is staggered pole pieces on the HS-4 vs not staggered on HS-3
Both are very similar if not identical. I would compare them against Dimarzio Cruiser, which is a much superior pickup.
It's always difficult to get all of the nuances in any recording, I assure you they sound quite different. If you listen on any modern good quality audio you can hear the differences. In person it's immediately noticeable. Duncans are higher output and more rich, DiMarzio's are thinner with lower output
Seymours were beefier, HS-3's were cleaner
Spot on!
Dimarzio juz like old metallica version 80s sound..damnnn..fury sd is mich higher output
Slightly more definition and clarity in the Duncans? 🤔
My ears tell me they have more output
Dimarzio dominated as expected! Enuff said don't you think 💭?
It all depends what you're looking for. I typically lean towards higher output, so I prefer the Duncan's, but if you want that super clear, older YJM sound, the DiMarzio's are impossible to beat
@@xounlistedxox Newer designed injectors were actually made for YJM before he jumped to SD. I tried them on a Gilbert guitar and were quite good too.
Tone zones and evolutions are superior over both of them!
@@danaeverhart6487 in what what?
I can't hear any difference, what do you think is the difference between them?
DiMarzio's have less output and sound thinner. Duncan's are higher output with a fuller sound
Duncan has less bite and more growl?
I would agree
The duncans sound juicier? The dimarzios sound a little “softer” Definitely a difference, so weird to describe tone.
Spot on!
SD have much more low and hi-mid freq, and sounds more fat, best pickups in strat for rock/metal (!!!)
Definitely agree
Duncans😎
Definitely agree, much more versatile
For.me hs3
furys for me
Likewise. You can always roll off the volume to get close to the DiMarzio sound too
i prefer di marzio
Are you a southpaw or is the video reversed?
I shot it with the front facing camera, so it only appears as if I'm a lefty, my apologies I figured the phone would turn it around. I always do one take, so I left it alone
The Duncans seem hotter to me. ??
Not dramatically, but yes they have more oomph, but can still be dialed back to get similar tones as the DiMarzio's
I can't tell the difference.
What are you listening on? Just listened again, and there's a pretty clear difference. Try listening on ear buds, bluetooth speaker, or monitors. TV, cell phone, laptop & tablets won't share as many nuances.
