PAF Pro Review
nienturi:
Hi,
I posted a fresh dimarzio review, but could be good action for forum :) It's about PAF Pro as a neck humbucker, a gem from Dimarzio. Hope you like it.

I could be wrong, but seem to recall that originally the PP was developed for Jazz/Rock guitarist Bill Connors. Connors played with all the fusion heavy weights, such as Return to Forever, during the 70's usually using a Les Paul Custom. But during the 80's he started using Charvels. He had a brown sunburst single Hum Charvel strat, with a vintage style trem, and ebony finger board. He needed a pickup which could drive through a lot of processing, but still retain clarity and pure harmonics.

I haven't heard him and his relation with PP but i've been checking the videos you'd sent and he is hell of a player. Such a music.

Buddy, seriouesly what he had done in the 1984 was awesome. I need to listen the whole album. Very impressive.

That is correct - that was mentioned in one of the 80s catalogues.
