But The PAF 36th is the pick up that dave used, isn't it?

nope the old original DP-103 not the 36th.
these are now disconitued so you have to buy one used or NOS

Or just use an Air Classic as mentioned. I agree with TattooedCarrot that it sounds really close to the old PAF. It has quickly become a favorite neck pickup of mine.

The 36th sounds like the DP103.

The 36th neck IS the DP103 but the old DP103 sounds a bit different to my ears, more balanced than the 36th, closer to the Air Classic.

That's OK. Use it. Just so you know, Fender used the 36th DP103 in the Murray signature model that was released a year or so ago.
