DiMarzio DP223N8

Introducing the PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge DP223N8, a vintage humbucker designed to capture the essence of classic pickups. With a soft magnetic field and a sweet tone, it offers a perfect balance of warmth and clarity, allowing for seamless transitions from clean to distorted sounds through pick attack.

Re-engineered using patented technology and inspired by Larry DiMarzio’s 1959 Gibson® Les Paul®, this pickup features a well-defined sound akin to a single-coil, enhanced by computer-controlled winding for precise frequency response. The nickel-silver cover, now more magnetically transparent, contributes to its vintage warmth without muddiness.

Suitable for both bridge and neck positions, the PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge is hotter than the neck variant and excels in a variety of guitar configurations, including set neck and trem-equipped bolt-ons. Customization options include bobbin style, base type, and cable type.

With an output of 285 mV and a resistance of 8.60 Kohm, this pickup delivers robust low-end and midrange definition, alongside smooth highs. Experience the authentic vintage sound with modern reliability in the PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge.

Tech Talk
The PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge model has the best qualities of the Virtual PAF® bridge and Virtual Hot PAF® pickups and then some. It?s as loud as the Virtual Hot PAF®, but has as much low-end and midrange definition as the Virtual PAF® Bridge Model. The highs are actually bigger and smoother than either model. The 4-conductor version also splits very well. Single-coil mode is bright, but not at all sterile-sounding.
