Versatile Warmth and Harmonic Richness in a Strat®-Sized Package
The DiMarzio DP180AW Air Norton S Pickup delivers the iconic warmth and balance of the original Air Norton™ in a Strat®-sized format, making it a perfect upgrade for players seeking a versatile, well-rounded tone. Initially, the full-size Air Norton™ gained popularity in the neck position of trem-equipped guitars, thanks to its rich, harmonically complex sound—a favorite of progressive guitarists like John Petrucci. The Air Norton S™ brings this same tonal excellence to Stratocaster®-style guitars, offering a versatile solution for players across genres.
Whether you position it in the neck, middle, or bridge, the Air Norton S™ excels with its medium output and distinctive harmonic bite. This makes it equally effective for single-note soloing and chord work, providing clarity and definition without sacrificing warmth. The ceramic magnet ensures a responsive attack, while the 4-conductor wiring opens up a world of tonal possibilities, from series-parallel to coil-splitting configurations.
Designed to replace standard Strat® pickups, the Air Norton S™ is an ideal choice for guitarists who want to blend classic warmth with modern performance. Its balanced response and smooth overtones make it a go-to pickup for rock, blues, and beyond.
