The dimarzio site-clever advertising?

Sign in to disble this ad
Im sorry if this offends anyone.




Anyway, i was looking up info on dimarzio ultra jazzes. and i looked on their site. they seem to have loads of pictures of women with little/weird clothes on.

doesnt this seem a bit weird for a site that sells guitar pickups???

Well, it obviously works to get lame dudes like us over to their site. Plus, IMO, they make great pickups to back up their skanky advertising.

Very unsuccessful advertising. I was at their site for a few minutes and I didn't look at the straps one moment.

Have any of you ever seen the Dillion Precision catalogs? Unless they have changed them since I last saw one, there is usualy a relatively attractive woman on the cover holding a gun of some sort. So, why not having them model for pickups?
