Frequently Asked Questions
The Air Classics offer a more articulate and slightly scooped tone than some of DiMarzio’s hotter models, lending themselves well to clean and slightly overdriven sounds.
The neck profile is a comfortable, moderate ‘C’ shape; while it’s a standard width, it's generally accommodating for most hand sizes, but players with very large hands might prefer something a bit thicker.
The F106 is a more traditional, fixed bridge, offering a more direct transfer of string vibration than a tremolo system; it prioritizes sustain and tuning stability over tremolo functionality.
