What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio LiquiFire
“I believe the DiMarzio Liquifire is a slightly altered Air Norton with less high end, but also leaner lows.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Air Norton
“All in all, the LiquiFire has more body, more tone, more soul and perfect articulation without having any harsh or ice-picky tendencies..”
On the DiMarzio Norton
“This is where a split Air Norton fares better, but it can be too woofy/muddy on the low strings in humbucking mode.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Air Norton
“I was hoping the Air Norton to be a hotter and more mid-focused version of that.”
