DiMarzio DP380 Air Norton T Tele Bridge Pickup Black

The Air Norton T is the Tele bridge 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. Fatter and louder than a vintage humbucker but not as overwhelming as a metal pickup, it's a great way for Tele players to make their guitars rock-friendly.

Recommended For: All positions.

Tech Talk: The original Airbuckers have an air gap between the magnet and the pole pieces. The Air Norton T doesn't have this feature, but the sound, output and feel are so similar to the original that we couldn't call it anything else. It's a very good bridge pickup for all types of rock. The combination of medium output and harmonic bite are very effective for single-note soloing as well as chords. The split and parallel humbucking modes are very good, with a glassy sound closer to a stock Tele.
