PAF Classic® Bridge Model DP195 & F

 

Pickup covers are back! They protect pickups from damage and they provide extra shielding against noise. There is one drawback: since all metal covers cause a loss of presence, some of the attack is gone. Using our patented Airbucker technology, we've created a pickup that sounds like the best humbuckers of the 50s' without any compromise in sound. Like the Air ClassicTM, the tone is subtle and complex. We wax-dip the PAF Classic® twice (the second time with the cover installed) to eliminate microphonic noise, and 4-conductor cable allows parallel and coil-splitting options.

Recommended For:

Neck and bridge positions in all solidbody, hollow and semihollowbody guitars.

Tech Talk:

Neck and bridge are slightly arbitrary designations for these pickups. The bridge model is slightly louder and fatter then the neck model, and works very well in the neck position of a brighter-sounding guitar, especially in combination with a hotter bridge pickup like the Air ZoneTM, NortonTM or Tone ZoneTM.
