Tone Zone® 7
The Tone Zone® 7 is not merely an adaptation of the original Tone Zone®, but a new design from the ground up for 7-string guitars. It incorporates lower magnet-pull and coils specifically calibrated to reproduce the full impact of the low “B” string without any loss of tone quality or fidelity. The Tone Zone® 7 comes with 4-conductor cable.
DiMarzio wanted to retain the power and sound of The Tone Zone® in The Tone Zone® 7, but they also wanted to reduce the magnet-pull to let the low “B” string resonate better. They found the best way to do this was to use a ceramic magnet, rather than the Alnico 5 magnet employed in the original Tone Zone®. The physical differences between 7 and 6-string pickups allowed them to alter the construction of The Tone Zone® 7 so that it performs as if it has an Alnico magnet, but its ceramic magnet is actually more stable over time, and there's about 40% less magnet pull.

Air Norton 7™
The 6-string version of the Air Norton™ has proven to be an effective, versatile pickup in both neck and bridge positions, and the Air Norton 7™ extends the same qualities to 7-string guitars. In the neck position, the sound is warm and well-defined — equally useful with clean or overdriven amps. In the bridge position, the sound is very solid and harmonically rich. In overdrive mode, it has a very distinctive voice that has both vintage and modern qualities. The Air Norton 7™ comes with 4-conductor cable.
In the neck position, the Air Norton 7™ is a warm, open-sounding pickup with enough power to balance with higher-output bridge pickups like The Tone Zone 7™, Blaze Custom™, and Evolution® 7. In the bridge position, the sound is medium output with solid lows and biting harmonics. It matches up well with the PAF 7™ or Blaze™ neck model in the neck position. Due to the use of Virtual Vintage® technology in the coil construction, split and parallel modes are also very effective; the sound is very vintage single-coil, without a severe volume drop.
Recommended For Solid body and semi hollow body guitars.
