What players and reviewers say
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.”
“It is warm and smooth, but it retains clarity and bite.”
On the DiMarzio PAF Joe
“Paf Joe is warmer/rounder, and does not flub out in the low end quite as bad.”
“Deliver classic PAF warmth, then tighten the low end and smooth the top without losing attack.”
