The full story

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 DiMarzio's PAF® 36th Anniversary Neck 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 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.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 they want. Then its dipped in their custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics.The cover is made from nickel-silver and our 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.FeaturesRecommended for all pickup positions4 Conductor Wiring (1 Conductor optional)Alnico 5 Magnet7.31 Kohm Resistance
