The best way to describe the
Air Zone is to say it’s a vintage version of The Tone Zone. It’s got
the same low string-pull as our other Airbuckers for singing sustain,
plus it has the big bass response and cool harmonics of The Tone Zone,
with extra sensitivity and control. It’s a great match for very hot
amps, allowing the player to take full advantage of massive preamp gain
without turning the sound to mud or fuzzy noise. It’s also a great neck
pickup for jazz players who need to get the hollow-body arch top sound
from a solid body, and it offers exceptionally good split and
series-parallel capability.
Ultra-fat PAF sound with more output.
The dynamic range from soft to hard picking is very wide, and the
combination of dual-resonance coils with the Airbucker magnetic field
allows sustained notes to hang on to harmonic overtones longer, instead
of becoming muddy as they fade. Will also work as a very warm, full
neck pickup for jazz sound, and combine with The Tone Zone, Super
Distortion and Super 3 in bridge position.
Recommended For: Bridge position primarily (see Tech Talk for neck position application) in solid body and semi-hollow body guitars.
