What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Air Classic
“It has that warm roundness I liked from the air classic but the bass is much more articulate.”
“Don't over look the Air Classic in an HSS strat if you want smooth humbucker response with clarity and dynamics.”
On the Seymour Duncan Sentient
“Both have very nice high gain solo voices the Sentient clearer and more articulate the Liquifire more aggressive compressed and smooth and thicker.”
Comparing with DiMarzio LiquiFire
“The Sentient more open and vintage vibe with less compression but still super articulate at gain.”
