DiMarzio Space Pink

Description

A pickup was needed that combined a lot of presence and “cut” with an open-sounding PAF vibe. This is a great building block pickup, because it's effective in many different situations.

A pickup was needed that combined a lot of presence and “cut” with an open-sounding PAF vibe. Try it in the neck position with a hotter bridge pickup — anything from a Norton to an X2N will create a good two-humbucker match.

Treble response is tweaked to produce highs that stand out without getting brittle. The PAF Pro makes an outstanding neck pickup in almost any guitar, and it’s an bridge pickup when high output isn’t required. The PAF Pro makes an outstanding neck pickup in almost any guitar, and it’s an exceptional bridge pickup when high output isn’t required. As a bridge pickup, it's really effective with single-coils, because it won't drown them out with too much power, and it's bright enough to blend in tone-wise. Low notes have both snap and chunk, and there is a spike in the mid-range that gives the pickup a subtle “aw” vowel sound, like a wah-wah pedal stopped in the middle.
