DiMarzio DP103FCR PAF 36th Anniversary Humbucker NECK Pickup CREAM, F-Spaced

DiMarzio DP103 PAF 36th Anniversary Humbucker NECK Pickup CREAM, F-Spaced NEW! AUTHORIZED DEALER!!!

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 our Dimarzios 36th Anniversary Neck Pickup, they 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 using their patented technology and Larry DiMarzios own 1959 cherry sunburst Gibson Les Paul as the reference. Larrys Gibson Les Paul has a uniquely amazing sound and its not only due to the pickups ½ its the total fusion of many elements of the guitar itself. Although the pickups have a weak magnetic field, the sound is well defined: almost like a single-coil. They duplicated the weaker magnetic field in order 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 desired. Then its dipped in a custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics.  The 36th Anniversary Neck is smooth but not muddy.
