Description
This DiMarzio set solves a common two-pickup dilemma: a neck humbucker that stays articulate without turning to mud, matched to a bridge pickup that can roar without losing its manners. The DP193BK Air Norton was originally designed as the bridge companion to the Norton, but players quickly found it excels in the neck slot — deep, warm, and surprisingly harmonically alive for a neck humbucker, thanks to its patented Air magnetic structure that cuts string pull and boosts sustain. Run it into 500K pots if you want extra treble bite and shimmer.
Anchoring the bridge is the DP155BK Tone Zone, DiMarzio’s answer to thin, buzzy-sounding high-output pickups. It’s hot enough to earn its high-output badge, yet its dynamic range means hard picking brings the fireworks while a softer touch cleans up nicely. Expect huge low-mid reinforcement, deep single-note definition, and chords that fill the room. Its dual-resonance coils pull in more overtone content than you’d expect from something this fat, and it splits cleanly into a convincing single-coil tone.
Together, this neck/bridge pairing is built for solid body and semi-hollow guitars looking for a versatile blend of clarity and power — and this set ships in black with a free set of D’Addario EXL110+ Regular Light Plus strings to get you playing right away.
