I wound up with an extra Air Norton and am thinking about bridge position possibilities. With the stock A5, these are supposed to be a bit dark and not too strong at the bridge. Probably be going into an Orville LP with a pretty balanced voice, slightly scooped but not a particularly bright guitar.
Wondering if the extra output and hotter treble of a ceramic might be a pretty good fit for this. Usually ceramic pickups are a bit stiff for my taste, am thinking the air spacing could soften the attack like it does for alnico. If it can make an A5 sound & act almost like an A2, what might it do for a C8?
Would airing bring it closer to alnico feel but keep some extra brightness & output, sort of a middle ground?
Anybody tried this, or have an opinion?
