What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio AT-1

“The authoritative roar of the mids and the strong presence of the highs define chords and give solos a foothold.”

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.”
