so, I got this unknown DiMarzio stacked humbucker, the type number tag has gone. only has U.S PAT. 4,442,749 sticker.
first I thought it was HS models, since the previous owner said he used it on the bridge for playing harder/louder stuff with cleaner signal. and if he's not mistaken, he said he got it on 1999.
but when I measure dc resistance, it was far from any HS models. only 9.1k on full humbucker, and very far mismatch between split coil 1.6k and 7.6k.
now I'm thinking this one supposes to be one if discontinued models. but I couldn't find any specs info for discontinued models so far.
anyone know what DiMarzio pickup I have here?

With the noise cancelling coil at 1.6K, it's probably a virtual vintage model. The noise coils on the newer Area series are lower than that. I don't recall which model weighed in at 9k, I'd guess a heavy blues off the top of my head. The blues is a little lighter wind, just over 8k.

ahh thank you for the info.
looked some info for discontinued virtual vintage models and found two models that has dc resistance reading about 9k.
the first edition of virtual vintage heavy blues and virtuAL 2 bridge position.
so I think the pickup I have is either of those two.
