DiMarzio PAF DP103 Humbucker 36th Anniversary Guitar Pickup Nickel Cover Regular Spaced

Product description:

Here are the characteristics that make a great vintage humbucker – a soft magnetic field, sweet tone, perfect balance between warmth and clarity, the ability to go from clean to distorted by pick attack alone. For the PAF 36th Anniversary pickup DiMarzio wanted to continue in the path of pioneers such as Seth Lover (designer of the original Patent Applied For humbucker) and create pickups that combine all of the characteristics of great vintage humbuckers. These pickups are not merely clones – DiMarzio re-engineered the PAF 36th Anniversary using patented technology and Larry DiMarzio’s own 1959 cherry sunburst Gibson Les Paul as the reference. Larry’s Gibson Les Paul has a uniquely amazing sound and it’s not only due to the pickups – it’s the total fusion of many elements of the guitar itself.

Features:

• Have you ever wondered what a Fifties humbucker sounded like when it was new, before the magnet weakened and beer got poured on it? This is the sound: no gimmicks, just clean, open tone with enough top end for sparkle and low end for warmth
• The best word for it is balanced
• The DiMarzio PAF DP103 humbucker pickup has a smooth, almost voice-like quality and that intangible swell to the notes after attack
• It possesses vintage output and breathes freely with an open, warm character
• Played flat-out through a non-master volume tube amp, the 36th anniversary PAF recreates the deep character of the great plug-in, turn-up and wail school of tone
