THE GUITARS OF JOHNNY RAMONE DIMARZIO FS-1 PICKUP (1980-1996) This would be a good time to introduce the Dimarzio FS1 (DP110) pickup. Eventually this pickup replaced the stock pickup in the white Mosrite and became the standard pickup in Johnny's other guitars as well. The original Mosrite pickups squealed and had constant feedback problems at the high stage volume the Ramones played at. You will notice this pickup in the next few pages in other guitars. | ||
This pickup is still being manufactured today to the same specifications. Installing this pickup in your own guitar would be a good first step if you are trying to duplicate the Ramones live sound. You can order one here. | ||
SEYMOUR DUNCAN MINI-HUMBUCKER (1983-1996) | ||
The Semour Duncan Mini-Humbucker was installed in the white Mosrite around 1983. Who knows why... it was not used live and eventually disconnected. If you want one of these they are available here but we're not sure if its the exact same model. (Who cares since its not connected anyway!) | ||
