Forget the descriptions...here's what real paf's sound like:

Lew you left out Clapton's amp and his fingers...LOL...Great PAF example though..Most of the Cream stuff.

Whats the singlecoil in that? I've also never seen a trem like that. Is it some sort of floyd?

Neck is a dim hs4 and the bridge is a gotoh that came from a gibson wrc.

The pafs are super crisp.

i played an older dimarzio paf the other day in one of my friends guitars. It was bright and crisp. Sounded really good. Can't say if it had authentic PAF tone but it sounded good,

I have a pair of Dimarzio Virtual PAF neck DP196 - Virtual Hot PAF DP 214 those are the most balanced, articulate, defined pickup I ever used and heard. I put them in two different guitars for versatility, paired with some more caracterial pickups, same kind of pup in one single guitar gives a dull result for my taste.

Oh yeah!! counting down the minutes right now.

Very excited. It looks downright sexy... Gotta post a pic once I get it. Something about that body shape really grabs my attention!

Don't forget the pics! I do love Hamers!

What I've read about the DMZ/Hamer relationship has already been well covered here.

I have an old 1984-5-ish Hamer Phantom made in the USA. Pu's are labelled HAMER made in the USA and read 12K b and 11K n. Don't know what mags are in it tho. Apparently made by DiMarzio. Sounds very classic rock to me but i feel they lack a bit in the hi's, maybe because of the neck-thru mahogany construction. Nothing an EQ couldn't fix. Don't know if they are considered PAF's being over 10k, but all in all a good sounding pu.

yep! that's the power level on Hamer stock Dimarzio pick-ups creeping up... as metal began to rule the 80s
I believe those are Alnico V and the lack of high frequency is probably the pick-ups. I have 90s era Mahogany Phantoms with stock Duncan pick-ups and they sound amazing, very nice highs and warm mahogany flavored mids.
