Pickups

The classic PAF humbucker sound with an extra portion of mids and trebles: we present to you the PAF Pro. For guitarists who don't want a high-gain screamer, but would like their classic sound to be a little hotter and more powerful. A particularly popular combination: a PAF (143059) on the neck and a PAF Pro on the bridge. That way, the volume balance between neck and bridge pickups is preserved. A quick reminder: since the strings vibrate more vigorously closer to the middle of the string, the neck pickup (with the same configuration) is always a little louder.

Splittable
Ideal lead pickup in the bridge-position
Also suitable for the neck position

Amazing pickup!!!

Anonymous 23.07.2016

I put it in my ibanez rg350dxz in neck position. It sounds very good when clean, and just incredibly amazing with distortion!!! You can play all - from blues to 80's shred - anything sounds awesome with this pickup.

A tasteful neck pickup

Jonas.M 14.02.2025

This pickup was installed in an Ibanez RG for playing classic rock. It was very disappointing at first - the sounds were not quite as advertised. Here lies the quirk of the Paf Pro - you have to spend time and adjust the height properly. Set it too low and it becomes bland and boring, like a cheap stock pickup. Set it too high and it gets very bassy and muddy. Set it just right and it sings! The cleans are chimey and sparkly, like a single coil, but with the power of a humbucker. As you turn up the gain, the Paf Pro does not get muddy and maintains string separation for chords. And it plays well with effects like chorus and delay, too. If you like the 80s, you'll love this pickup.

Just Diamond

Mv12 22.09.2024

So what can I say for that diamond now? It's just perfection, I think it's the best selection for rock style, maybe metal as well. I just installed it on my Strat Harley Benton ST-20HSS. I bought that guitar the same money with the Dimarzio Paf Pro, and the guitar sounds extremely amazing, from one cheap guitar, it sounds as good as one very expensive guitar, I suggest that fantastic pick up on everyone🤠🤠💥🎸

PAF PROF

Luthioss 20.02.2020

Le micro à tout faire n'existe pas, et ce PAF PRO fera le bonheur des rockeurs près du chevalet comme du manche. Pour le Jazz, c'est différent, il s'exprime bien dans les medium et m'a un peu déçu pour les aiguës en son clair; pour celà on gagnerait à le splitter, et je vais peut-être le faire. Il favorise assez les harmoniques sur du haut gain au préampli. Couplé avec un PAF JOE le rendu du son en position parallèle est excellent, très musical, plutôt agréable et permet tous les traitements par pédale d'effet. Il réagit abondamment aux variations d'attaque, les réglages du potard de volume ne sont pas innocents; à ce titre je lui donnerais le surnom de "PAF PROFESSOR".
