Air
Norton 7
DP793
As 7-string guitars have continued to grow in popularity, playing
styles have expanded and sonic demands have increased. The 6-string
version of the Air Norton has proven to be a an effective, versatile
pickup for many applications in both neck and bridge positions,
and the Air Norton 7 extends the same qualities to 7-string guitars.
In the neck position, the sound is both warm and well-defined
- equally useful with clean or overdriven amps. In the bridge
position, the sound is very solid and harmonically rich. In overdrive
mode, it has a very distinctive voice that has both vintage and
modern qualities.
Recommended
For:
Solidbody and semihollowbody guitars.
Tech
Talk:
In
the neck position, the Air Norton 7 is a warm, open-sounding
pickup with enough power to balance with higher-output bridge
pickups like the Tone Zone 7, Blaze Custom and Evolution
7. In the bridge position, the sound is medium output with
solid lows and biting harmonics. It matches up well with the PAF
7 or Blaze neck model in the neck position. Due to the use
of Virtual Vintage technology in the coil construction, split
and parallel modes are also very effective; the sound is very
vintage single-coil, without a severe volume drop.
