DiMarzio Custom PAF Pro F-Spaced Black/Chrome

The PAF Prowas created when chops-intensive playing was first starting to happen, and high-gain amps and rack systems were becoming popular. A pickup was needed that combined a lot of presence and cut with an open-sounding PAFvibe. The transparency of its sound lets the PAF Proslice through heavy processing, where darker-sounding pickups get lost in the mud of the effects chain. Low notes have both snap and chunk, and there is a spike in the mid-range that gives the pickup a subtle aw vowel sound, like a wah-wah pedal stopped in the middle. Treble response is tweaked to produce highs that stand out without getting brittle. The PAF Promakes an outstanding neck pickup in almost any guitar, and its an exceptional bridge pickup when high output isnt required.
