What others say
Demos, reviews and forum posts, quoted word for word and linked to where they were published.
Andy Timmons demos his DiMarzio AT - 1 and The Cruiser Bridge Pickups.
“The mids speak clearly, and the top end rolls off just enough to keep things sweet.”
“It is articulate under gain and fluid when clean, a balance that is hard to fake.”
“I'd sooner look at a Cruiser or Fast Track 2 for the neck, unless you want the guitar to have a thick and creamy tone by default.”
