DiMarzio DP103 PAF 36th Anniversary Humbucker Guitar Pickup - Black - Avayadevconnect

This is a DiMarzio 36th Anniversary PAF humbucker pickup in black for the neck position. 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.These pickups are not merely clones. DiMarzio re-engineered the PAF using patented technology and Larry DiMarzio’s own 1959 cherry sunburst Les Paul as the reference. Larry’s 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. Although the pickups have a weak magnetic field, the sound is well defined - almost like a single-coil. DiMarzio 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 wanted. Then it’s dipped in a custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics. 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.
