What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio Mo' Joe

“Mo Joe is a Fred but a little hotter, more aggressive, and has slightly less highs.”

“It has an aggressive presence but somehow it's smooth and not too bright just like the Mo Joe, except without the lower midrange quality the Mo Joe has..”

On the DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary

“It's like taking a PAF 36th anniversary and going a bit over the top in the low end and low mids.”
