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 our PAF 36th Anniversary Neck we 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. We re-engineered the PAF using our patented technology and Larry DiMarzio's own 1959 cherry sunburst Gibson Les Paul as the reference. Larry's Gibson 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. We duplicated the weaker magnetic field in order to allow the strings to vibrate longer, as well as focus and articulate the attack and output. We use computer-controlled winders to consistently layer the 42-gauge custom-coated wire, achieving the exact frequency response we want. Then it's dipped in our custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics.

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, we have focused our research on making pickups with warm highs and bright lows. This combination is only found in our favorite vintage humbuckers, and it's 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.

Larry di Marzios Firma "DiMarzio" war die erste, welche Austauschpickups für E-Gitarren/-Bässe herstellte, und ist seit den 70er-Jahren unbestritten die Nummer eins in diesem Markt. Mit fast doppelt soviel Output, wie ihn andere Pickups erzeugen, wurde damals der Grundstein für ein mittlerweile fast unendlich erscheinendes Angebot an Austausch-Tonabnehmern zum Tunen Ihres Instruments gelegt. Neben der umfassenden Palette an Replacements findet man DiMarzio Pickups auch serienmässig auf Fender-, Ibanez-, MusicMan-Gitarren und anderen nahmhaften Gitarren. Bei uns finden Sie eine grosse Auswahl an DiMarzio Pickups ab Lager lieferbar. So then: Pimp Your Guitar!
