The Atomic the Hot Rod and the DH-1/Diamondback are the exact same pickup.

Fender only really makes 3 humbuckers well 4 the neck atomic or Dh-1

But here they are the Standard or Tex Mex alnico 5 8 ohm the DH-1 Diamondback Atomic Hot Rod alnico 5 16.5 ohm and the Enforcer ceramic highoutput 24 ohm


That is incorrect my friend. The Diamondback is very different than the Atomic. I have both and have swapped both and measured the output of each. They are very different from each other.

Now that you mention it I ordered a Diamondback on ebay and I got it it was like an 8.3k
I wrote him and said this is not the right pickup and he sent me back a 15k

So yeah seems like your right.

On this site, for the Am Dlx HSS, the overview lists the DH-1, while the specs list the Atomic. :?

Lou I think they makeup so many names for the same pickup you just got to ohm it.
They only have a Low Med & High output humbucker.

The Standard is an 8.3k, the Hot Rod Atomic is about a 15 k varies I got 1 that was low as 12k and one that was hot as 16.4k The Enforcer is a 24k Ceramic

The Atomic is like a Duncan JB. The Diamondback is around 8.3k - 8.5k. I am replacing the Diamondback with either a Duncan 59 or Dimarzio 36th Anniversary PAF.

They also called those same pickups black canyon sidewinders or something like that.
They remarket the same humbuckers under new names all the time. Its confusing.
