The sound of a Norton® is right between FRED® and The Tone Zone®. It’s got some FRED®-like harmonic overtones that can only be described as nasty, with more of the power and mid-range of the heavyweight Tone Zone®. The same patented dual-resonance design used in FRED® and The Tone Zone® delivers a sound that’s hotter and “bigger” than any vintage model, but not as loud as a distortion-class humbucker. Norton® might be our most versatile bridge pickup. Combine it with a wide choice of neck pickups like the Air Classic™, PAF® 36th Anniversary, PAF Pro®, and Air Norton™.
Norton® was originally designed to extend the tonal range and power of standard output humbuckers without going over the top. It's more modern than a PAF® sound: the benchmark Gibson® Les Paul®/Marshall combination yields more midrange crunch and high frequency pick harmonics than vintage-style pickups were capable of putting out. Norton® is really good for opening up the sound of mahogany set-neck guitars.

“DiMarzio has been around me my whole musical life — from ads in early Eighties guitar magazines to buying my first replacement pickup and, since ’88, I have bought a 2-inch ClipLock® strap for every new guitar I got. I am honored to now be a part of this legacy and all the killer guitar players you have on your team. Life is good.”

“I've been using DiMarzio pickups for over 20 years, and wouldn't even consider putting anything else in my guitars.”

“When it comes to pickups, I look for clarity, dynamics, power, and sustain. DiMarzio delivers. The huge range of models allows me to bring out the best in every guitar, and retain those signature DiMarzio traits. Killer.”
