What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio Norton

Arena-shaking open chords have definition and a degree of sparkle to each note.

The luscious midrange works to allow the lows to have authoritative fidelity while giving the highs room to yield an inviting presence.

On the Lindy Fralin High Output

Lows are big and full and on the verge of punchy, but not loose or muddy.

The high end has bite and edge and tinkers with the idea of being sharp, but eases up before going too far.
