The Pickup Place / Re: PAF DP103 50th Anniversary
« on: September 18, 2019, 05:41:24 AM »
Nice research, @ikonomov, thank you!

I expect DiMarzio had good reasons to change the technology of the original DP103. In a marketing sense, this is shooting yourself in the foot, knowing how magic-thinking many guitarists are, when it comes to "original", "real thing" technology. My guess is that it would have been really easy for them to have kept separated the "PAF" DP103 from a different PAF 36th neck, but it is likely they sounded exactly the same.

There are other musicians who care only about the tone - and Larry is one of them. Sure, seems like they don't forget about the skeptics or those who have spares to tinker the old way (PAF 59).

If you will be able to compare the two pickups - earlier DP103 against current 36th - please let us know your conclusions, ikonomov.

Cheers!
