{"product_id":"dimarzio-dp223f-paf-bridge-f-spaced-pickup","title":"Dimarzio DP223F 36TH Anniversary PAF Bridge  F-Spaced Pickup","description":"\u003cbr\u003eHere 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 Bridge we wanted to continue in the path of pioneers such as Seth Lover (designer of the original \u003cem\u003ePatent Applied For\u003c\/em\u003e 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. The cover is made from nickel-silver and our new plating makes it more magnetically transparent than the originals. The PAF® 36th Anniversary Neck is smooth but not muddy. It performs equally well in the neck or bridge, just as the best humbuckers from the 50s did. The PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge is hotter than the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dimarzio.com\/pickups\/vintage-output\/paf-36th-anniversary\"\u003eNeck\u003c\/a\u003e. It is not only for set neck 24¾” scale guitars, but it’s also an excellent bridge pickup for trem-equipped bolt-ons. We’ll build the PAF® 36th Anniversary any way you want it. Choose the bobbin style — vintage glossy or modern matte, the type of base — traditional, long-legged or standard, short-legged, and the type of cable — vintage single-conductor or 4-conductor. The PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge is available uncovered, and we also offer three types of covers — standard polished and plated, buffed with no plating, and our vintage worn cover that looks so authentic and broken in that you’ll swear it’s been hanging around since 1959.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge model has the best qualities of the Virtual PAF® bridge and Virtual Hot PAF® pickups and then some. It's as loud as the Virtual Hot PAF®, but has as much low-end and midrange definition as the Virtual PAF® Bridge Model. The highs are actually bigger and smoother than either model. The 4-conductor version also splits very well. Single-coil mode is bright, but not at all sterile-sounding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-field-recommended-for field--type-string-long field--label-inline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field--label\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bridge position, can also be used in neck position with higher output bridge models.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-field-quick-connect field--type-list-string field--label-inline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field--label\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Connect\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-field-wiring field--type-string field--label-inline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field--label\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiring\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 Conductor (1 Conductor optional)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-field-magnet field--type-string field--label-inline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field--label\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnet\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alnico 5\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-field-resistance field--type-string field--label-inline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field--label\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.60 Kohm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-field-year-of-introduction field--type-integer field--label-inline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field--label\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dimarzio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43314336170102,"sku":"82187","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/5742\/3222\/files\/media_cd251751-63e8-48e4-bbcd-62839d606a06.jpg?v=1779893567","url":"https:\/\/www.georgesmusic.com\/products\/dimarzio-dp223f-paf-bridge-f-spaced-pickup","provider":"George's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
