Guitar Lounge / Re: Why do the high e (1st) strings always break first?
« on: May 23, 2024, 01:45:38 PM »
High E for me. It’s not that I bend it more than a G or E.
Now, I haven’t counted the breaks, but for me the B goes a lot also.

Very thorough review, as are all your reviews. Thanks!
I used the PAF Pro some years back in the bridge of a Hamer Scarab. Hog body and neck, sort of an odd take on an Explorer style.
It was ok, but I think I may have going more for an old style vintage hot to hot pickup…I know, that’s a lot of range there. Eventually I ended up with a X2N. I was pretty confused, but eventually it was Dimarzio who did trip my trigger!
However, how you describe the neck position makes me very interested. I’ve had similar experiences with the 59 and Jazz in terms of when they do and do not deliver clarity, so what you write re the PAF Pro neck sounds good.
Could you elaborate on a PAF Pro vs the Duncan Jazz a bit more? It sounds like you found both delivering clarity, and having had a Jazz neck in a Les Paul, I’d agree about the Jazz. How is the PAF Pro different from the Jazz?

I liked it a LOT! and hope you like it, too
I fell off the earth for a while, but I’ve now read your review, well written!
I think I could like the pickup, as vintage hot seems to suit me well these days. I have some ok pickups in a Hamer right now, but a pair of cream Dimarzios would suit it well, I think.

I noticed there isn’t a cream option, but the relic white looks darn close. I’m curious about that.

I’m waiting on your AN review, and coincidentally, the Air Classic is what I’ve picked for the neck. Nice review, and confirms what I’ve gathered up to this point.

Looking to drop a pair of Dimarzios into a 93 Hamer Special FM. I’ll go Air Classic in the neck.
I have been thinking 36th, but your description of the AN in the bridge is sounding like something I’d dig.
My Dimarzio experience is limited to Super Distortions and X2Ns. Those really worked well for me. I’m looking for lower output these days, but not necessarily 1950s PAF output.

The Pickup Place / Re: New Filtertrons from DiMarzio!
« on: January 13, 2024, 12:35:46 PM »
Looks interesting, although I don’t have a guitar for that.
It looks like it’s s all F tron sized. Is that radically different than standard humbucker size?

I’m about to reinstall a Super D in a Hamer Special FM. I pulled the Super D for a PAFish pickup in the bridge, but I’m reversing course!

« on: March 06, 2023, 05:52:03 PM »
Sending the guitar back, so no new Dimarzio Tele pickups for the moment.
I do have a Super Distortion laying about that’s going into a 1995 Hamer Special FM, so all is not lost!
I appreciate the info.

Thanks Stephen!
I actually forgot the fact that I did use a Chopper T about 18 years ago. I liked it, and your description is on the money. I also did the series/parallel thing.
Unless someone chimes in regarding a Pre B-1, it looks like the Area Hot T will fit the bill.

I see where you’re going with this.
No personal Dimarzio Tele experience here either. A friend uses the Twang King set, which nails that type of Tele sound. I’ve used only humbuckers and P90 size humbuckers.
I appreciate the replies!
