Fed up with bridge pickups that sound like an angry swarm of insects? The Tone Zone® pickup puts an end to that piercing, thin tone that plagues so many high-output options. This pickup manages to pack serious heat whilst maintaining a broader dynamic range than typical high-output models, meaning you can dig in hard for maximum power or back off your attack for cleaner, quieter passages.
What sets the Tone Zone® apart is its substantial bass and low-mid response that reinforces the bottom end, creating a much bigger overall sound. Single notes retain their depth even in the highest registers, whilst chords sound absolutely massive. The patented dual-resonance coils work to reproduce more overtones than you’d typically expect from such a fat-sounding pickup.
For neck position pairings, you’ve got plenty of excellent options including the Air Norton™, PAF Joe™, or PAF Pro®. The pickup also performs brilliantly in split-coil mode, producing a quality single-coil tone. Other neck position candidates worth considering include the Air Classic™, Air Zone™, and FRED®, along with higher-output single-coil replacements like The Cruiser® and Fast Track 1™.
