[DiMarzio DP190 - Air PAF classic Neck Nickel]

Product Code: DP 190 NI

The DiMarzio DP190 Air Classic Neck is a special pickup engineered for players seeking an authentic vintage sound with modern reliability. This neck humbucker, finished with a nickel cover, delivers a warm, organic tone that faithfully captures the spirit of the legendary PAF pickups from the late 50s. Thanks to the patented "Airbucker" technology, the magnet is slightly offset from the pole pieces, reducing magnetic pull on the strings. This results in enhanced sustain and exceptional clarity, even during complex chord work.

This high-quality component is an ideal choice for 6-string guitars, excelling in blues, jazz, and classic rock applications. The pickup offers extraordinary dynamic response—it reacts to every detail of your playing, from delicate picking to aggressive strikes. It is a reliable choice for guitarists who demand a musical, "singing" tone without unwanted noise.

✨ Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ (Click to expand)

Q: What does the "Airbucker" technology do?
A: It reduces magnetic pull on the strings, allowing them to vibrate more naturally, which increases sustain and mellows the overall tone.

Q: Is this pickup suitable for heavier genres?
A: It is primarily designed for vintage tones (jazz, blues, rock), but with the right amplifier settings, it handles modern playing where clarity is key.

Q: Which bridge pickup pairs best with the Air Classic?
A: It complements the Air Classic Bridge (DP191) or the PAF 36th Anniversary Bridge (DP223) perfectly for a balanced vintage set.

Q: Does the nickel cover affect the sound?
A: The nickel cover adds a slightly warmer and smoother character to the tone compared to uncovered pickups.

Q: Is installation more complex due to 4-conductor wiring?
A: The 4-conductor wiring offers more flexibility (e.g., coil-splitting), which is a significant advantage for instrument versatility.
