I think I found the "right" one. What do you guys think about the Dimarzio Air Zone.
he best way to describe the Air Zone™ is to say it’s a vintage version of The Tone Zone®. It's got the same low string-pull as our other Airbuckers™ for singing sustain, plus it has the big bass response and cool harmonics of The Tone Zone®, with extra sensitivity and control. It's a great match for very hot amps, allowing the player to take full advantage of massive preamp gain without turning the sound to mud or fuzzy noise. It’s also a great neck pickup for jazz players who need to get the hollow-body archtop sound from a solid body, and it offers exceptionally good split and series-parallel capability.
Recommended For: Bridge position primarily (see Tech Talk for neck position application) in solid body and semihollow body guitars.
Tech Talk: Ultra-fat PAF® sound with more output. The dynamic range from soft to hard picking is very wide, and the combination of dual-resonance coils with the Airbucker magnetic field allows sustained notes to hang on to harmonic overtones longer, instead of becoming muddy as they fade. Will also work as a very warm, full neck pickup for jazz sound, and combine with Tone Zone®, Super Distortion® and Super 3™ in bridge position.
it says it works good with those, but will it work good with other strat pickups also?
It talks a lot about high gain amps and stuff, but will it be able to pull of a great blues/classic rock sound? Is this a little bit too "heavy metal" for me?
output is 323 and DC resistance is 17.49. can you explain what that means, and how it would work with the other 2 pickups I'm keeping for now.
Oh yeah, where do you think I should buy a HSS pickguard. I dont want to spend a ton of money on just the pickguard. and the pickup is 70$
thanks
