Description

Dimarzio re-engineered the PAF using their own patented technology and Larry DiMarzios own 1959 cherry sunburst Gibson Les Paul as the reference. Larrys GibsonLes Paul has a uniquely amazing sound and its not only due to the pickups. Although the pickups have a weak magnetic field, the sound is well defined: almost like a single-coil. Dimarzio duplicated the weaker magnetic field to allow the strings to vibrate longer, as well as focus and articulate the attack and output. They use computer-controlled winders to consistently layer the 42-gauge custom-coated wire, achieving the exact frequency response the company desired. Then its dipped in their custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics. The cover is made from nickel-silver and Dimarzio new plating makes it more magnetically transparent than the originals.

The PAF 36th Anniversary Neck is smooth but not muddy. It performs equally well in the neck or bridge, just as the best humbuckers from the 50s did.
