    New PAF Variant from Dimarzio

    Dimarzio goes maple spacers, plain enamel wires, buthyrate bobbins and alnico 2 magnets

    PAF® 57 Bridge | DiMarzio
    https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/vintage-paf-output/paf-57-bridge
    DiMarzio has been on the cutting edge of pickup design and has been a game changer for over 50 years. We pride ourselves on our originality, innovation, and the constant pursuit of excellence. The PAF® 57 uses a 2½-inch Alnico 2 magnet as the energy source, setting the stage for sonic brilliance. Using computer-controlled winders, we scatter-wind the 42 AWG enamel wire, adding dimension to the meticulously matched coils and enriching the guitar's voice and dynamics while adding depth without compromise. Fear not: these pickups are wax-potted, vanquishing any whisper of microphonic feedback. All the pole pieces and studs are nickel plated, while a maple spacer ensures perfect coil alignment between the bobbins. PAF® 57 pickups paint an auditory masterpiece — creamy tones, flawless hum cancellation, and a crystalline top end. The PAF® 57 has the perfect output for use with high gain amplifiers. Choose your vibe with black, relic white, or cream butyrate bobbins, or traditional nickel covers. The PAF® 57 Neck and Bridge models deliver open dynamics, a bright attack, smooth midrange, and a resounding bottom end. DiMarzio doesn’t answer to a board of directors. We answer to a higher power: musicians.

    I don’t need new pickups. I don’t need new pickups.
    Those specs tick all the right boxes for me.

                Those look pretty Classic if you ask me.
                You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

                  You can see those specs almost every pickup builder from Gibson to any other boutique winders. I think the only exception was Dimarzio and now they have, too

                    I realised yesterday. I was looking for something new because of the NAMM 2024 events. And surprised what i saw. Then checked dimarzio forum and came here

                      Are PAF pickups supposed to be scatter-wound? I mean, "authentic" vintage-inspired ones.

                        No, that is a protected color.

                          vintage scattered means "more or less, by eye"

                            no, pafs were not scatter wound. they were machine wound, usually on a leesona 102 gibson purchased in 1954. granted machine wound on that machine didnt have the same tight tolerances we have today, but its still machine wound. duncan has the actual winder from the gibson factory and uses it on many of their vintage paf type pups

                              What was it Seth Lover said? "Wind the bobbins until they are full"?
