EVH Pickup Comparison Seymour Duncan / Dimarzio

[@htwheelz67]

Out of them all the 59 nailed the tone the best even over the wolfgang. I may have to dig out my old MJ 59 from the early 80's and give it a whirl in one of my Charvels after hearing this.

[@jonathanguimond]

Thanks ! I got to tell you tho, the 59 is very trebly.

[@shawnroberts2396]

i like the Air Norton

[@fusoperso]

All beautiful ❤❤❤ except the dimarzio evolution

[@porkporkus9803]

Fantastic video thanks for that. For me it's between the 59 and the air Norton. Bit more snap and clearer single picked palm mute notes.

[@jonathanguimond]

Thanks ! the 59 ended up in the guitar in the end, the bite was awesome :)

[@jonathanguimond]

Gotta add a thing : the UNDISPUTABLE hero of leads is the EVO. This is the best, hands down, bridge pickup for leads.

[@nicolasrivera5310]

Nice video. Air Nortons have the best balance between clarity and punch

[@domg7616]

To me the seyour duncan 59 nails it!

[@L.A.W.Studios]

Saved me a ton of time and $$ Mr. Scoville Project.. Air Norton's hands down for me

[@JimRidings]

SO the AIr Norton was originallyu designed to be a Bridge pickup - just sounds awesome in teh neck

[@jonathanguimond]

@@JimRidings yeah, that's why I wanted to try it there !

[@iamgribs]

Jb sounds nice

[@jonathanguimond]

Thanks man !

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

It can do the Brown Sound but it's more compressed and there's lots of top end. He ended up using a JB in his 5150 guitar during the Hagar era.

[@mottosierra1372]

The jb that ed used had a broken coil and that's why it sounded different

[@iamgribs]

@@autodidacticprofessor869 yeah it is bright, this is why a lot of people don't like JB in a strat and prefer it in a Les Paul type guitar. It's a good match for 80s hair metal or Van Halen though. I don't find it sounds that compressed, well maybe it does compared to the other examples here.

[@punkwaf24]

I think the best EVH Sound is when Evolution and Air Norton get a Baby and I think a Airzone or Norton could do the Sound good

[@jonathanguimond]

One of my friends actually told me the Norton should do the trick. Personally I'd like a version of the 59 with less highs

[@punkwaf24]

@@jonathanguimondMaybe do a Magnet Change on the 59 to Alnico 2 that could help or try the Airzone kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIuliHqnfJh6ZqM hear the sound at 6:00

[@autodidacticprofessor869]

@@jonathanguimond That would be the Duncan 78 Model. It's similar to the 59 but with an AlNiCo 2 magnet and it's supposedly a copy of a rewind he did for Eddie when he brought him a dead PAF. You can also try the Duncan Custom Custom which is similar to what ended up in the Frankenstein guitar before he retired it.

Ok….but where’s the SD 11?

*DiMarzio Norton is the best*
