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 PAF 36th Anniversary
“It's like taking a PAF 36th anniversary and going a bit over the top in the low end and low mids.”
“It is warm and smooth, but it retains clarity and bite.”
