The sound of a Norton® is right between FRED® and The Tone Zone®. It has FRED®-like overtones that can only be described as wicked, with more power and midrange from the heavyweight Tone Zone®. The same patented dual resonance design used in FRED® and The Tone Zone® delivers a warmer, "bigger" sound than any vintage model, but not as loud as a distortion-class humbucker. Norton® is perhaps our most versatile bridge pickup. Combine it with a wide selection 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 overdoing it. It's more modern than a PAF® sound: the reference Gibson® Les Paul®/Marshall combination produces more midrange and high crunch harmonics than vintage-style pickups were capable of producing. Norton® is really good at opening up the sound of mahogany set-neck guitars.

Recommended for: Bridge position in all solid body guitars. Can also be used in the neck position with higher output humbuckers.
