What players and reviewers say
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.”
On the Gibson Burstbucker Pro
“I don't hear the tendency for harsh treble like I got from the stock Burstbucker pro #1 and #2.”
“However, the Burstbucker Pro in the bridge, sounds a little thin, and sometime bright, but in a piercing way.”
