The perfect replacement for worn gold humbuckers.
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 Neck, DiMarzio continues 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. They re-engineered the PAF using patented technology and Larry DiMarzio' own 1959 cherry sunburst Gibson Les Paul as the reference. Larry' Gibson Les Paul has a uniquely amazing sound and it' not only due to the pickups ” it' 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 it' dipped in a 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. The PAF 36th Anniversary Bridge (our SKU J14035) is hotter than the Neck. It is not only for set neck 24¾ scale guitars, but it' also an excellent bridge pickup for trem-equipped bolt-ons.

Tech Talk
There is no reference standard for the sound of a humbucker from the 1950s. All of them had variations in output and tone, and these differences could be quite large. Recently, diMarzio focused research on making pickups with warm highs and bright lows. This combination is only found in their favorite vintage humbuckers, and it' really good for a pickup intended for both the neck and bridge positions. It allows the bass strings in the neck position to avoid muddiness, and the treble strings in the bridge position to be warm and not brittle.
