DiMarzio DP193BC Air Norton Humbucker - Standard Spaced (Black/Cream w/ Nickel Poles)

Originally conceived as the Airbucker� version of the Norton�, the Air Norton� has evolved into something far more versatile than DiMarzio initially imagined. What began as a bridge pickup designed for high-gain applications quickly revealed itself as an exceptional neck pickup with remarkable tonal characteristics.

The Air Norton� produces a tone that’s both deep and warm without becoming muddy, offering plenty of heat without crossing into distorted territory. Its unique harmonic content sets it apart from typical neck humbuckers, providing cool overtones that are genuinely unusual in this pickup category.

Thanks to its patented magnetic structure, the Air Norton� reduces string-pull, resulting in improved sustain while offering tremendous control over pick attack and dynamics. This makes it highly expressive for players who demand responsiveness from their instrument.

For optimal tonal combinations, pair the Air Norton� with an Air Zone�, The Tone Zone� or Steve’s Special� in the bridge position to achieve a perfect balance of power and tone. Alternatively, mount an Air Norton� in the bridge with an Air Classic� Bridge model in the neck position for a distinctive medium-output blues-rock sound.
