What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio Air Zone

“The Air Zone has a BIT more highs than the Breed which has a BIT more mids and comes off as very very slightly warmer..”

“I was looking at the PAF pro and the Air Zone, but it seems that they may bet boomy on the low end awfully quick....”

On the DiMarzio Steve Morse Model

“It works great in the Steve Morse model guitar or in an ax pushing a Mesa Rectofier as it doesn't get muddy and is very punchy through an amp with a lot of lows like the Mesa.”

“Yes, it's dark ish, I had treble at 3 o'clock, but it DOES sound like Steve Morse, that's his tone.”
