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 Suhr Aldrich

“The alnico V magnet Aldrich is in the same ballpark, but with a smoother top end, a little less bottom end and has a slightly compressed attack.”

“The Aldrich was a huge step up in clarity and string definition.”
