DiMarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone Demo
Bill Nash T-63 2HB Dimarzio Air Norton/Bluesbucker Humbucker Electric Guitar Demo | Guitar Hangar
“The pickup becomes famous for its thick, vocal lead tone and smooth low end.”
“Palm muted riffs feel tight and articulate, while lead lines jump out with smooth sustain and a hint of upper mid bite.”
