The Air Norton S⢠is the Strat® replacement version of the full-size Air Nortonâ¢. Itâs warm sounding, very well balanced, and has the same unique tonal characteristics as the original. The original Air Norton⢠wasnât designed for a specific position or type of guitar, but it has become most popular in the neck position of trem-equipped guitars for progressive music. (Thanks, John!) The S version is also a very good bridge pickup for all types of rock. Its combination of medium output and harmonic bite are very effective for single-note soloing as well as chords.

Tech Talk: The original Airbuckers⢠have an air gap between the magnet and the polepieces. The Air Norton S⢠doesnât have this feature, but the sound, output and feel are so similar to the original that we couldnât call it anything else. Itâs very good in the neck position with a Tone Zone S⢠or Super Distortion S⢠in the bridge, or in the bridge position with a Pro Track⢠or Chopper⢠in the neck. We like the Cruiser® or Fast Track 1⢠in the middle with either setup for brighter sounds in the 2, 3 and 4 positions.

Recommended For: All positions
