    Default Air Norton in the Bridge?

    Robert/Bobby's new videos today prompted/forced/compelled me to call Dimarzio for input on my pickups selections. The guy I spoke with thought that Area 61s with a single 500K volume pot would be best because the 58s/67s might be too bright otherwise. I also asked if Dimarzio had a humbucker similar to the Screamin' Demon, aka bright with PAFish output. He suggested an Air Norton. I know that's "normally" a neck pickup but has been used in the bridge. I think it would work well with the 61s. Several reviews compared it to a SD 59, which the Demon is based on. It's $25 cheaper than the Demon too. Anyone ever try an Air Norton in the bridge?

    If George played DiMarzios, I'd bet good money that one of the bridge pickups he liked would be an Air Norton. Blows the Demon out of the water IMHO.

    PS: George is a friend so if he reads this the results oughta be a HOOT! LOL :
