I used the paf joe in the neck of a 22 fret guitar and a 24 fret guitar and it just didn't have the cut and body I was after. I couldn't get a good sound out of it and it didn't pair well with either a Tonezone or Dsonic. That's when I tried the PAF Pro and fell in love. I recall the Paf Joe feeling squishy and undefined. I was looking for a clear articulate pickup, with quick picking definition.
