Title: Air Norton S vs Regular Air Norton
Post by: Orkhan Julfa on April 19, 2017, 04:35:51 PM

Hi everyone!
Is there big difference between Air Norton S and Regular Air Norton or they are really similar?
I had some experience with regular Air Norton.
Made some search but did not find any valuable information about them. Some guys say S version is better than regular, some say this is very muddy and bassy, some say this is very bright and almost single coilish  :-\ it is really confusing!
Have any one any experience with both of these pups?  ???

Air Norton S is definitely not single coilish.

Well I like the sound of regular Air Norton in 24 fret guitar. It is smoother than Evolution neck but has  less boomy bass. So will S version sound the same in neck position of 24 fret guitar?

It's going to sound similar, a bit less air and a bit peakier mids and brighter highs. No S version of the humbucker sounds completely the same as it's full-size brother, but some are closer then others.

ANs is definitely not going to have a boomy bass, though.

HTH,
Cory
