The best way to describe the DiMarzio Air Zone is to say itâs a vintage version of The Tone Zone®. Itâs got the same low string-pull as our other Airbuckers⢠for singing sustain, plus it has the big bass response and cool harmonics of The Tone Zone®, with extra sensitivity and control. Itâs a great match for very hot amps, allowing the player to take full advantage of massive preamp gain without turning the sound to mud or fuzzy noise. Itâs also a great neck pickup for jazz players who need to get the hollow-body arch top sound from a solid body, and it offers exceptionally good split and series-parallel capability.

Recommended For: Bridge position primarily (see Tech Talk for neck position application) in solid body and semi-hollow body guitars.

Tech Talk: Ultra-fat PAF® sound with more output. The dynamic range from soft to hard picking is very wide, and the combination of dual-resonance coils with the Airbucker⢠magnetic field allows sustained notes to hang on to harmonic overtones longer, instead of becoming muddy as they fade. Will also work as a very warm, full neck pickup for jazz sound, and combine with The Tone Zone®, Super Distortion® and Super 3⢠in bridge position.
