DiMarzio Virtual Hot PAF DP214 Pickup (Discontinued Model, NOS/NIB)

another nice sounding humbucker pickup, discontinued model DiMarzio Virtual Hot PAF DP214.
pickup has been discontinued and suppose to be replaced by newer 36th PAF Anniversary.
but, they turned out to be quite different kind pickups. lot of people seems love this old Virtual PAF (they even created petition on DiMarzio forum, asking DiMarzio to make the pickups again)

in my opinion, one of the best pickup DiMarzio ever made.
most guitar player loves the PAF kind sounds. but some people just need a little bit more extra from PAF pickup, especially for bridge position.
and this pickup deliver that kind of killer sounds, a PAF but with a little more juice for more kicking sounds from the bridge, kinda those famous 'brown tone'.

NOS & NIB pickup, unopened sealed new pickup.

some description from DiMarzio:
Product Description
In the past there were no high-gain amps, no home recording studios, no computer monitors. Single-coil pickups were okay, and so were unpotted humbuckers. Who knew? Times have changed, but the clean, bright-yet-warm tone of the best vintage pickups still sets the standard for electric guitar sound.
The Virtual PAF captures the finest qualities of 50's and early 60's humbuckers to create a great sound. Patented Airbucker and Virtual Vintage(TM) technology permit the use of an Alnico 5 magnet to generate the same low string-pull that an Alnico 2 or 3 produces, and combine 2 of the most sought-after tonal characteristics: low note clarity and high note warmth.
For the vintage humbucker player who wants more - more power, more attack, more punch. The Virtual PAF proved that a pickup could be sweet-sounding and gritty at the same time. The Virtual Hot PAF is less about sweet and more about attitude. Play it hard and the sound jumps out of the speaker, but the singing quality of the best vintage humbuckers is still there, and coil-splitting works really well, too.

Recommended for all positions.

Tech Talk
An obvious question is the differences between the Virtual PAF and models like the PAF(TM) and Air Classic. The Virtual Vintage(TM) technology in the Virtual PAF adds a subtle, 3-dimensional presence to the overall tonality. It's particularly noticeable in the tonal balance between high and low notes: the high E string doesn't get brittle-sounding on the high frets, and the low E string doesn't "mud out" on the lowest frets. This characteristic makes the Virtual PAF neck model equally effective in both neck and bridge positions where sonic clarity is most important.

I will ship the pickup from Indonesia, using registered airmail (you can trace it online on local Post Indonesia website).
it will cost around $10 for 250grams weight to anywhere in the world.
usually it will take from 2 to 4 weeks time to arrive on its destination (depending on postal traffic, weather condition, customs clearance, etc).
if you want a faster shipping time, we can use Express Mail Service (EMS), it's a little bit expensive, for example it will cost $20 for 250grams weight to US (cost for every country is different).
I will combine shipping if you buy more than one item, to minimize postage cost.
check my other listings, I'm downsizing my humbucker collection as I've been moving to single-coil territory lately

ask me if you have any question.
as is, no return.
