DiMarzio's Air Classic� humbucker represents a breakthrough in pickup design, capturing the coveted warmth of late 1950s vintage humbuckers without the inherent limitations of traditional construction methods. Rather than simply copying classic designs with Alnico 2 or “aged” Alnico 5 magnets, DiMarzio developed their innovative Airbucker� technology to solve the technical shortcomings that plagued vintage pickups.
This revolutionary approach allows the Air Classic� to utilise a more dependable full-strength Alnico 5 magnet while simultaneously reducing string-pull, which significantly improves sustain and sensitivity. The engineering behind Airbucker� technology ensures you get all the sonic qualities that made those classic humbuckers legendary, but with modern reliability and performance.
The sonic character of the Air Classic� is distinctly three-dimensional and almost vocal in nature, with notes that jump off the strings with remarkable speed and maintain their tonal integrity throughout the sustain. This enhanced touch sensitivity and control gives players unprecedented ability to shape their own unique sound, making it an exceptional choice for guitarists seeking vintage tone with contemporary dependability.
