It's fat and warm, but not muddy. It's hot, but not distorted. It's even got cool harmonics. The patent -applied-for magnetic structure reduces string-pull, so sustain is improved, and pick attack and dynamics are tremendously controllable and expressive. Combine the Air NortonTM with a Tone Zone® in the bridge position for a perfect blend of power and tone.

Recommended For:

Solidbody and semihollowbody guitars.

Tech Talk:

When the Air NortonTM is in the neck position, it's a warm, open-sounding pickup with enough power to balance with all bridge humbuckers. Try it with 500K pots for maximum treble and harmonic presence. In the bridge position, the sound is medium output with solid lows and biting harmonics. You can try it here with 250K controls, or a 500 K volume & 250K tone to fatten the highs up a little. Combines well with Air Classic in neck, and also with Cruiser, Chopper and Blue Velvet single-coils.
