What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Air Classic
“On a clean amp setting, things are open and offer lots of headroom.”
“The articulate and transparent nature are on full display with a high-gain amp setting.”
On the Seymour Duncan Full Shred (SH-10)
“The Full Shred is a tad lower in output and gets close to the lead sound of a JB.”
Comparing with Seymour Duncan JB Model (SH-4)
“With less in the lows and mids and plenty in the highs, it's going to cut through.”
