DiMarzio DP180W Air Norton S™ - White
Guitar Pickup
The Air Norton S™ is the Strat® replacement version of the full-size Air Norton™
It’s warm sounding, very well balanced, and has the same unique tonal characteristics as the original. The original Air Norton™ wasn’t 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.
The original Airbucker™ pickups have an air gap between the magnet and the pole pieces. The Air Norton S™ doesn't have this feature, but the sound, output and feel are so similar to the original that Dimarzio® couldn't call it anything else.
