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 Lollar Imperial Low Wind
“I purchased a PRS Singlecut Trem used that had the Imperial low winds in it. Initially, I was a little disappointed that the original pickups weren't included, but am completely sold on the Lollars. They excel in every area, from ultra clean to gritty.”
