DiMarzio HS3 VS Seymour Duncan Fury - Yngwie Malmsteen pickups

A lot of followers ask me the difference between the HS3 and Fury pickups. Watch my own opinion in this video, and tell me what you think in the comments ! :)
Both Malmsteen Strats are USA with the exact same woods, only the pickups differ. I used a Jimi Hendrix mexican Strat to avoid this kind of sentence : "Hey, all the single coils sound the same with your Fractal Axe FX2 !!" No no no no no bro, listen to this Hendrix Strat, we can hear a difference !

I honestly kind of like the HS3 a tad more. It sounds a lot more Yngwie-ish, specifically old school Yngwie Malmsteen. I really like his old school tone because it still sounds really metal while still retaining that straty vibe.

[@bluwng]

Did he always use noiseless single coils. I don’t think they existed early in his career.

[@jayteesgear]

@@bluwng yeah they were noiseless. They are stacked pickups

[@angusorvid8840]

@@bluwng No, Yngwie used a DiMarzio FS-1 in the early days, then started to use the HS-1, HS-2 then HS-3 sets about the time he landed in Los Angeles in 1983. DiMarzio went to him and offered an endorsement. The FS-1 is a good pickup but can be very noisy because it's not hum canceling.

[@DaveViner]

I love the Duncan's but the Dimarzios win this hands down. Excellent playing!

[@nathangrueber9834]

Agreed!!! Ive got seymore duncans in the one i made; thyr just tooo clinical. Dimarzio ive heard; started with the philosophy of bringing out the wood. You can even hear the springs inthe back resonating. Who needs sex when you can make a guitar growl like that!

The DiMarzios have more bite (like a bit of scoop in the low mid) and the Duncans have a fuller sound. Both have great pick attack. Great comparison thank you.

who cares bout the pickups, your playing gave me goosebumps !!!

[@londoncharlieboy]

HS3 are hands down winner for me. They sound exactly like vintage Yngwie (if that’s what your looking for). The Fury’s sound dreadful to me.......I ripped em out of my YJM Strat & put DiMarzios in. Big improvement in tone.

[@Neogeofanatic]

A lot of followers ask me the difference between the HS3 and Fury pickups. Watch my own opinion in this video, and tell me what you think in the comments ! :)

[@michaelcraig9449]

I wish I could hear the difference clearly on these tiny computer speakers.. not the greatest way to learn about tones..but I guarantee if I go to a music store and ask to try Strats with all these different pickups, they will not have them there! That is why I started trying to research like this.. sad, I know..music stores should have more variety of stuff in the stores..

[@BETAsin]

I would say the SDs sounds closer to the fender pickup, in other words more vintage voiced than the dimarzio does, but only every so slightly. IIRC the dimarzio is a stacked design and the SD is closer to a vintage strat pickup design but for your play style i think it's hard to hear any tangible difference.

[@gkol69]

+BETAsin SD is a stacked design, too, but I agree that DMZs go towards modern and SDs towards vintage, but slighty so.

[@michaelm3052]

I should've been wearing hearing protection with my construction job all these years. I can't tell any noticeable difference. Great playing, by the way.

[@JacobGordonOfficial]

NeoGeofanatic To me sounds like The Fury pickups have more highs which kinda make it sound better in the mix but a little more shrill so not quite as clean sounding as the HS3. But it could all be in picking dynamics honestly. the difference I hear is so very small though

[@MarioBohorquezE]

DiMarzios have the classic Malmsteen twang and nuances

[@nathangrueber9834]

So is it a dimarzio thing? Cos the fender did the same; but seymore duncan was too clinical. Im confused by this video cos at the end; he concludes that he couldnt hear a diference? Youd hafta be deaf not to notice the diferences??

[@TheHugoTubo]

@@nathangrueber9834 why kept technical ordinary speech like trying to ofend who´s think diferent of your " opinion" ? thats not a mach or a championship....like it was suposed to understand for every, but its ok, you win everything everytime ;) your pick ups also !!

[@nathangrueber9834]

@@TheHugoTubo i didnt understand anything you said?? Do you speak english? Or are you using an english translating programme? All im saying is that people say you cant hear the diference between dimarzio and seymore duncan? Of corse you can?? I have seymore duncans in the guitar i made; and personally i dont like them. Thyr too clinical sounding. Dimarzio has a woody sound that really brings out the sound of wood. Dimarzio company are incredibly helpfull when choosing pickups. They asked me what kind of wood i was building my next guitar out of; and they matched the pickup power and sound to bring out the sound and resonance of the wood. Its well known that malmsteen is a bit of a asshole to work with. Just watch him on stage. While other band members are working together; hes off to the side doing his own thing; posing and trying to look cool. Satriani and vai and petrucci are just humble guys that work together. When i first heard malmsteen it blew my mind; i love baroque music; and to hear someone playing it on guitar. Wow!

[@davidd.6448]

I honestly can't hear that much of a difference between the two. The guy in the video does a good job replicating Malmsteen 's style so it basically sounds same-y to me either way. Not including the 63 vintage ones since they do have a more traditional single coil sound to them

[@assiscarvalhoo]

hs-3 is better. Hs-3 has different tone and you can note when playing on the 5th and 6th strings.

[@Thirdgen83]

It's WEAK.

[@TheOnlyLarsson]

I think they seymour duncans are less 'thin' when compared to hs3 and a little more bottom end. I prefer the fury pickups.

[@risingforce2903]

You rock bro! I have a 2015 YJM strat with SD's, love the tones, especially the neck pick-up

[@leoguitare764]

c'est toujours un grand plaisir de t'écouter jouer, continue de nous envoyer du rêve!

[@adamcogan211]

I was listening to a podcast with Paul Gilbert and he said the reason Yngwie moved from the HS-3's is because he was having issues with volume since they are very quiet pickups. (I know ironic that the guy with the loudest amps would say his pickups were quiet) anyway dimarzio decided to design pickups which solved the volume issue but yngwie moved to seymour duncan and he created the fury pickups. Thus paul gilbert was given the injector pickups which are essentially the modified HS-3's. So if you want that classic Yngwie tone with no problems in volume, the injector's are the way to go:)

[@primeDecomposition]

I put an injector pup in the bridge position of my CS '63 strat. Actually I don't think they're meant at all to be like a normal vintage strat pup minus the hum like the HS-2/HS-3's were, it's a good deal hotter than a normal vintage strat bridge pup, a fairly good deal hotter. Like the pup it replaced probably measured around 5.85-6K output. The injector's up around 11K-12K so... yeah. Hot enough that I lost most of the quack in the bridge-middle position lol. Overall, the Injector (bridge pup) sounds like a really muscular single coil, but definitely still single coil in character, still not in humbucker territory, you won't be doing any djenting with 'em lol.

[@randomguitarhero7095]

Adam Cogan the "quiet" pups refers to the low output of the hs3s ..quiet because it kinda dampens he overtones from his playing especially during those alternately picked licks... that what he is referring to as quiet.. not the volume

[@tonybowen455]

Interesting. I love the injector pickups. Yngwie licks are actually the most played thing on my fireman so far. I feel like they remind me of a mix between a paf humbucker and single coil, though. I'll have to get a set of fury pickups to figure out if they're the similar.

[@Thirdgen83]

You are so right. I have the injector (neck) and Area 67 & 61 pickups, and I love 'em. The Injector bridge model sounded terrible though...

[@Thirdgen83]

The DC resistance has NOTHING to do with the output power of a pickup.

[@erlikquadros5873]

For me, there was a little difference between DiMarzio HS-3/YJM and Duncans YJM Fury, being the Duncans a bit clearer and more defined than the DIMarzios.. but the Fender true single coils KICK SERIOUS ASSES!! Dude, what a killer tone!

[@johnmenna401]

I think you sound amazing regardless of guitar/pickup combination, I have a strat with two dimarzio hs3s and one dimarzio YJM, and I absolutely love the tones that I can get out of it. Thanks for the demonstration you have great taste in gear and chops

[@nirbhaysaini9578]

What are the pickup positions of each of them, thanks

[@billchase6168]

Holy Cow!!! That is some incredible guitar playing!!! I like the HS-3 tone better. It just seems to have a little extra fullness. I have a 93 maple neck Yngwie and an 89 rosewood Yngwie. Both came with HS3 but sounded completely different from each other. I changed the 93 bridge recently to an HS4. The HS4 sounds better than the HS3 for everything I'm playing. It has added clarity. Thank you for posting this video. It's really helpful and amazing playing!

[@trilogyopus]

I can hear the difference, especially when you engage neck pickup. HS3 is more open, wider, organic and defined. The fury is unfortunately ( I have them) more dull. But to be honest this is the smallest difference between these two pickups I have ever heard on the net. You can hear clearly the difference in some other clips. Your work is every time holiday of sound for us...cheers

[@greasegat]

trilogyopus my thoughts exactly! the Dimarzio HS3 sounds fantastic in the opening of the video in the neck position. very organic and open sounding. I hate high output pickups, they make one dark unusable sound imo. HS-3 all the way.

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

I agree

[@JohnDoe-pq8yw]

After all those years of standing in front of his Marshalls, how can there be any question that his hearing was better 30 years ago than it is now. I'll keep the HS3's in my strat. Yngwie saying he can even "hear" the difference is just dishonest. He is still one of the greatest of all time and you dude, are a great player. Thanks and keep playing.

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

After hearing his interview on how he wound up leaving dimarzio i really think there is more than meets the eye with the real story. Yngwie said he was not happy with the dimarzio's? You are not happy with something BUT use it anyway for over 25 years??? WTF? i am supposed to believe that! really yngwie that reason is BS!) He could have had ANY pu maker wind him custom pu's at anytime so why did he wait? I really think he had a falling out with Dimarzio over something that was business related and not that he was not happy with the dimarzio pu's as he claims! he story just does not add up in the real world. Like i said he "Could have" had ANY pickup winder(duncan, fralin,lollar,and the hundreds more!) make him custom pu's at any time!

[@arnyarny77]

[@emcg.9655]

[@MrRafaelMatiazoguita]

[@rekdinhopoetico]

My friend, I have a Malmsteen 2008 with DiMarzio...I've tested one with Fury, but I prefer his old timbre! The current one seems to give more enphasis on some low notes. I really love both, but I prefer the old one! But I felt the difference when I played! That's it.

[@dingushussey4100]

First off, your playing is exceptional, I have a feeling that this experiment proved more about how much isi in the hands and the soul than the pick-ups. Personally, i felt that when you swapped to the seyour duncans there was more warmth in the bridge pick up, but it might have been a sutbler change in where you were picking. Furthermore, I think if i was going to go for another signature strat, listening to your rendition of Highway Star would remind me that the middle pick-up doesn't really get much use and that guitar just sounded so good, I'd buy the Blackmore, but again, your demo was smoking and in my hands maybe not quite so beneficial haha.

[@ronniebeni]

You are absolutely right! No difference at all! Amazing! Thank you for your efforts on this.

[@ShredGeek]

Great playing as always brother!! Awesome video. This is one of ( if not) THE BEST comparison videos between these two pickups. I have a"Duck"project guitar I'm working on and decided in the beginning to use the HS3s.. and watching/listening to your video just reassures me that I picked the right pickups for it. Inner isn't better than the other just different. The HS3s just have more of that early YJM vibe. Great job!!

I agree, they sound the same to me, from a cell speaker anyways, I just got a set of Furys can't wait to put them in my road worn fender, I also built my own Jimi strat, same configuration as the Fender, only I use the EMG DG20 set of pups which sound amazing! !!

The last axe you grabbed...(Had my eyes closed for the first time I watched it so I could maintain an unbiased opinion)..the Vintage '65. To me, THAT one encompasses the early solo sound (Marching Out) and is the (iMo) best of the 3. The string choice..brand, gauge, height..with whatever pickup in it, p/u height... EVERYTHING... (Oh yeah, the playing was good too, lol😆)

[@lenduckworth99]

I'm not an YM fan at all but I do think both of these pickups offer players a good opportunity to get shred tones out of a standard start without serious alterations. I thought both sounded cool but really different. Thanks

[@michaeldasilva5844]

I totally forgot this was a pickup comparison once you started playing lol

[@thevantagepoint3830]

I can tell the difference. The HS3 sound more strat like but fuller than classic single coils... The Fury's (which I also own) have a bit sharper midrange tone and are hotter. The best way to compare these pickup sets is to play them through a tube amp set to the same volume and eq settings. These pickups are hard to distinguish on solid-state or "amp modeling" setups. Plus with the HS3s you can get a volume pedal or the Radial Tone bone pedal and slam the front end of the amp and get a beautiful tone. Look, it worked for Yngwie for all those albums from Steeler to Alcatrazz and throughout most of his other albums... SD offered him a better endorsement deal. $$$ They are hotter but to me sound thinner and have more upper midrange. not bad. Its why I own both...

[@KingAragornIII]

It goes without saying that the guy in this video is not only a fantastic player but a true Yngwie fan. I love the sound of the HS3. It reminds me of Yngwie’s sound before the Trilogy album. But the SD Fury is a fantastic and very articulate pickup. Excellent video. Absolutely love it.

[@royferntorp3575]

I work in a busy recording studio and I can hear the subtle difference in the low-mids between the Dimarzio and the Duncan. Many modern amp-tones are mid-scooped and distortion adds compression that buries some of the tone. But I could still hear the Duncan was slightly 'fatter'.

[@aideedsodikromo4413]

[@BIGJACKET1966]

What gauge of strings do you use on the first strat? Very nice vibrato effects using your fingers. Does the guitar stay always perfect in tune? Gorgeous sounds with fury.

[@andersonmoreiradasilva4955]

Great video, in my opnion YJM Seymour Duncan pickups have a little more sustain than Dimarzio HS3 and a less treble too. Tks for this comparison, nice job. By the way can you share this backtrack with me? I loved it.

[@manuelesayas9960]

All of them sounds awsome! Nothing different. Damn sounds amazing.

[@phillipallen3323]

I have a '74 Fender Strat, an '82 57 reissue Fender Strat and a '92 Fender American Standard Strat each equipped with DiMarzio HS3 pickups. Yet each guitar has it's own individual tone. I had actually considered trying the Duncans to compare. But after this video I can tell that the difference between the brands are too little too purchase another set. Thanks. Great playing. The thing I got out of this the most is that the output volume from both brands are identical. That (output) was my deciding factor in the first place for getting the YJM set. I find them to be super versatile for most playing situations. They are equally at home playing in the country band or in the blues band or even my classic rock band. And obviously shred too. lol. By the way. My '57 reissue sounds just like Vintage 65 that you demonstrated. Showing that body and neck construction play a huge part in overall tone. Again, great demonstration. Thanks.

[@dieshpiraino2985]

There's not much difference but your playing is super accurate, and tasty. Congrats Sir !!!

[@tragedi25]

Hey in the strat with the HS-3 pickups are the tone controls bypassed? I ask because I watched a video with Yngwie where he talked about bypassing the tones on his personal guitars to get more output. And I was just wondering, and didn't see it already stated if they were or not....

I thought the Dimarzios retained more of the traditional strat sparkle. The Duncans had s stronger mid presence. By the way that stock 65 strat sounded great too! By this sound sample I prefer the HS3. I suspect the cleans are going to more of my pleasing.

I thought the Dimarzios seem to be just a little brighter maybe, or at least had more bite, or pinch harmonics sounded more pronounced. ? :) :p Both Yngwie strats sounded great. I heard Yngwie saying in an interview he had SD try several sets of pickups before he settled on what they are using in his guitars now. What were the pickups in the white Jimi Hendrix looking guitar may I ask? Thanks for the excellent video's .:p

Salut Nono Merci pour toute tes vidéos . Pourrais tu stp me dire la différence entre le micro hs2 et hs 3? Merci David

[@MrRafaelMatiazoguita]

I see HS3 sounds more vintage like the first YJM discs tones.

[@williamsats9327]

Hi, I've tried both HS & Fury in both maple & rosewood necks. Well....There is a difference but you can't hear it well if you're using to many processors such as multi-fx stomp boxes etc. If you play it straight on a typical A/B tube amp you'll notice that HS pickups have a more "organic" and aggressive sound, they also react better with picking dynamics. From the other hand, Fury pickups are a bit cleaner and i could say more "polished", specially in the highs and their bass has less attack (not that "boomy" as HS). The conclusion is that if you're using multi-fx, stomp boxes, 2-3 ODs etc, just buy any of'em, but if you're a straight to the amp kinda player HS will give you more articulate sound (they are more sensitive in the harmonics), specially with fast picking and left hand "light but fast" playing. You play with a very nice feeling by the way!!!

[@2204JCM]

Yes I hear more / better mids for the HS3 consistency in these comparison vids

[@jaywells5283]

i have to offer up my opinion, the seymours seem a little less muddy in the bridge mostly but overall they seemed that way too! the dimarzios sound great, but when you picked up the duck with the duncans, thats where the sound came more alive, like a blanket had been removed! again thats just my opinion but them fender pups sounded freggin fantastic! thanks for doing this video! awesome playing!
