The Tone Zone is a high-output Alnico 5 humbucker that DiMarzio describes as having a wider dynamic range than typical hot humbuckers, with tremendous bass and low-mid response. Patented dual-resonance coils. Recommended as a bridge pickup in solid bodies; the maker lists Air Norton, PAF Joe and PAF Pro as neck matches.
