DiMarzio LiquiFire

Hot, clear and balanced, with forward mids.

Hotter than 73% of the 466 humbuckers we have

  • Alnico 5 magnet: the common all-rounder: firm lows and clear highs
  • More mids than a typical DiMarzio

“All in all, the LiquiFire has more body, more tone, more soul and perfect articulation without having any harsh or ice-picky tendencies..”

“I believe the DiMarzio Liquifire is a slightly altered Air Norton with less high end, but also leaner lows.”
