Air ClassicTM
Bridge Model DP191 & F
The Air ClassicTM
goes beyond vintage to create the ultimate PAF sound. Instead
of simply copying the design of 50's humbuckers by using Alnico
II or aged Alnico V magnets, the patent-applied-for magnet structure
not only reduces string-pull but increases harmonic overtones
and sensitivity to pick attack. This means there is more control
over the musical subtleties that allow good players to create
their own individual sounds.
Recommended For:
Bridge position when combined with Air
ClassicTM neck model or most single
coils, neck position in combination with hotter humbuckers. For
all solidbody, hollow & semihollowbody guitars.
Tech Talk:
There's no doubt that a weak magnetic
field allows a vibrating string to ring longer, but the standard
Alnico II/ weakened Alnico 5 method also muddies the tone the
longer the string sustains. By contrast, the Airbucker magnetic
field preserves high end sustain; it's easier to capture and hold
harmonic feedback at varied frequencies, and chords maintain better
clarity.
