What is DiMarzio's "PAF"? About 20 years ago, humbucking pickups first appeared on Gibson electric guitars. The humbuckers back then were very similar to the humbuckers that are made today, but they weren't exactly the same. Installed on guitars manufactured between 1957 and 1960, this pickup is patent-applied for P.AF (patent pending) and is a collector's item for old standards and In other words, the sound of the Explorer is the sound of the P.A.F. And the sound of Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, and Eric Clapton is the sound of this P.A.F. Sixteen years after the P.A.F appeared and disappeared, DiMarzio has completely recreated the characteristics of the original P.A.F, delivering a warm, sustaining sound for guitarists who are in constant search of a P.A.F. Completed the pickup "PAF" to have. The EG900 is a standard type electric guitar that combines this "PAF" with Greco's woodworking technology.
