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 Seymour Duncan Pegasus
“The Pegasus looks like it has a scooped midrange..”
