Warm and well-balanced tone.

The DiMarzio 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's become most popular in the neck position of trem-equipped guitars for progressive music. 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 DP180 pickup is recommended for all positions.

Tech Talk: The original Airbuckers 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. It's 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. DiMarzio likes the Cruiser or Fast Track 1 in the middle with either setup for brighter sounds in the 2, 3 and 4 positions.

I replaced the stock neck single coil in a HSS set up BC Rich STIII with this. It sounds nice a creamy with a little bit of the single coil tone still there, but it without a doubt has a nice humbucker sound. It seams a little bright but thats why i got it for the neck, roll the tone off and there is that woman tone.

This pickup is really awesome. Its great for saturated situations and for clean (it even has a kind of single coil sound). My only complain is the output. The normal output is okay but I wish it has more.
