The sound of the Norton is right between the 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 the mid-range of the heavyweight Tone Zone. The same patented dual resonance design used in the FRED and The Tone Zone delivers a sound that is hotter and "bigger" than any Vintage model but not as loud as a distortion class humbucker. Norton might be DiMarzio's most versatile bridge pickup. Combine it with a wide choice of neck pickups like the Air Norton, PAF, PAF Pro and Air Classic.
The standard colour is black. If you like the look of double cream coils - DiMarzio is the only manufacturer - however, it is a special order from the factory - as are Zebra coils - and delivery is 4-6 weeks. Gibson Les Pauls, SGs, 335s, Flying Vs, etc should be fitted with standard spacing pickups while ALL others should be fitted with F-spaced pickups.
