We love the sound of late 1950s humbuckers, but we didn't want to simply imitate them by using Alnico 2 or "aged" Alnico 5 Magnets. Airbucker technology was created to capture all of the best sonic qualities of vintage humbuckers white avoiding the technical problems. The Air classic has the same sweet sound as a classic humbucker, but Airbucker technology permits us to use a more reliable full-strength Alnico 5 magnet and still reduce string-pull to increase sustain and sensitivity. The result is an almost vocal, three-dimensional sound that jumps of the sting faster and stays true ass it sustains. The sense of touch and control this provides will offer you an unequaled ability to create your won sound.
