Description
This is a classic DiMarzio pairing for players who want depth without mud and grind without harshness. The DP193BK Air Norton takes the neck slot, using DiMarzio’s patented Air Norton magnetic structure to cut string pull and open up sustain, dynamics, and pick response. It’s deep and warm but stays articulate, and it even throws off harmonic detail that’s rare for a neck humbucker — a great match for 500K pots if you want extra treble and shimmer on top.
In the bridge, the DP160FBK Norton (F-Spaced) sits tonally between DiMarzio’s FRED and The Tone Zone — some of FRED’s snarling harmonic edge combined with Tone Zone-style midrange muscle. It’s hotter and bigger-sounding than a vintage-style pickup without tipping into distortion-class output, making it one of DiMarzio’s more versatile bridge options. Both pickups are 4-conductor, Alnico 5, and finished in black, so you’ve got coil-splitting flexibility and a clean visual match.
Suited to solid body and semi-hollow guitars, this set works well whether you’re chasing a blues-rock medium-output sound or building a bigger high-gain rig. Rounding out the bundle is a set of Ernie Ball EB2223 Super Slinky strings, so your rewired guitar is fully strung and ready to go.
