The DiMarzio DP103 CR PAF 6-String Electric Guitar Pickup Cream is a vintage humbucker for DiMarzio's 36th anniversary, with a 4-conductor cable, an Alnico 5 magnet, and cream finish. Here are the characteristics that make a great vintage humbucker: a soft magnetic field, sweet tone, perfect balance between warmth and clarity, the ability to go from clean to distorted by pick attack alone. Although the pickups have a weak magnetic field, the sound is well defined: almost like a single-coil.

DiMarzio duplicated the weaker magnetic field in order to allow the strings to vibrate longer, as well as focus and articulate the attack and output. The cover is made from nickel-silver and DiMarzio's new plating makes it more magnetically transparent than the originals. The PAF 36th Anniversary Neck is smooth but not muddy. It performs equally well in the neck or bridge, just as the best humbuckers from the 50s did.
