- This DiMarzio Air Classic humbucker sounds extremely clear and chimes beautifully. It can also deliver a lot of richness and smoothness but never gets “woofy” or cluttered sounding.
Just using an iPhone to record the room sound (and my wife is just zipping out to the store 😊)

Sounds killer, very snappy, warm and punchy.
🙏🏻
I have just fitted air classic neck and bridge to my ibanez rg . Not only are these pickups tonal bliss they appear to have brought out the guitars natural tone. I can't pick any reason why you would not be happy with the air classics , from clean tone to overdrive they deliver surprisingly well and do not lack in any area . I have tried and used many different pickups over a 40 year period and these air classics are now my holy grail.
Excellent!!
@@riffs66 Do you turn the "tone" potentiometer? In my guitar these pickups sound too sharp. Too much treble, not enough depth and bass.
@@jakubhap7728 I can’t recall if I’m rolling the tone down on this clip but I definitely work the TONE pot all the time on all my guitars (as well as the VOL, obviously). 👍🏼
@@riffs66 What do you think about the DP191 bridge pickup? Have you played it?
@@jakubhap7728 I’ve never tried the bridge Air Classic! I should.
Paul Gilbert's favorite Dimarzio pickups.
Ahhhh! 👍🏼
Dimarzio pups sound just like what a perfect guitar would sound like when I’m thinking about guitar tone in my head.
👍🏼👍🏼
That.. was.. immaculate.. 🤌🏻
Damn this sounds so smooth!!!!! I’m getting this pickup.
Sounds great!!
🙏🏻👍🏼
@@riffs66 Any particular reason you have the screw coils facing the bridge in the neck position?
It sounds very good! And your playing is really nice! E dorian and some sus2 chords?
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great sound! What pickups do you have in the other positions?
Thank you! The others are the Suhr ML in the middle and their SSV+ at the bridge 🙏🏻
Sounds really good! Why have you flipped them 180 degrees? any difference in sound?
No difference that I can hear when in full humbucker mode BUT when split the active coil is the one closest to the neck when flipped this way.
@@riffs66
I've done the same on my guitar to have it split that way. How far away from the strings do you have yours? I think your guitar sound more stratty than mine.
Nice tone for sure.... but, nice playing too :)
Much appreciated 🙏🏻
What bridge/trem system is in your strat? Awesome!
Hi 👋🏼 Just a Gotoh 510 trem bridge. 🖖🏼
Hey Joe, great playing/tone! Question for you: I know we're hearing this in the neck, but is this an actual Air Classic Neck model, or Bridge?
Thanks, Grady 🙏🏻 It is the NECK model (DP190) 👍🏼
@@riffs66 Awesome, thanks! I'm thinking about getting a pair of Dimarzio's.. was gonna go with an Air Zone in the bridge with an Air Norton in the neck.. but after hearing the tone's you're getting herein the Air Classic is really winking at me. Do you think it can keep up with an Air Zone bridge?
@@gradythegray I do think that the Classic would work well with the Air Zone.
Did you raise any of the screws to get that single coilish sound? Seems like if I orient the pickup like yours it sounds more like a humbucker the lower the screws are. If oriented the other way round the screws are as low as possible for me to make it sound like a single coil.
I just left the screws as they were from the factory. 👍🏼
Which amp do you have? It sounds great
Thank you 🙏🏻 This is a Fractal FM9 running through a JBL EON710 stage monitor.
Just noticed your pole pieces on your neck are not closest to the neck. Why is it installed like that?
It was necessary to install it that way, so that when the pickup is split it hum cancels with the other pickups, and the active coil is closest to the neck.
@@riffs66 Interesting - I thought in split coil the adjustable pole piece side was active. Glad to know! The sounds are really warm but with presence on top. I’m considering moving the a Duncan Jazz to this for more mid warmth. Thanks!!
You can have either side active when split (depending on what wires you connect) but the slug coil on this pickup is magnetically opposite the Suhr single coil so that’s why I needed it to be the active coil (to hum cancel with the middle pickup) 🙏🏻
what pots are you using here?
Just the stock pots Suhr uses. I believe they use resistors on the pickup selector to vary the value from 250 to 500 depending on which position is active.
