The DiMarzio DP223 PAF bridge position humbucker pickup uses new technology to duplicate the qualities of vintage electric guitar pickups--without sacrificing the presence and open sound of the best vintage humbuckers. This 36th anniversary PAF bridge pickup, a hotter version of the PAF, isn't just for set-neck 24-3/4" scale guitars, but is also an excellent bridge pickup for tremolo-equipped bolt-on neck guitars.

I replaced the hign output pups in a new Epi SG with the PAF's and with some tweaking got the tone and sustain that was missing for me. I just couldn't get the hotter pickups tuned in, so I knew I couldn't lose with the standard humbuckers natural range for my taste. Now, this guitar sounds as sexy as it looks!
Replacing the SeymourDuncan Pearly Gates of my Fender Deluxe HSS, the DP223F is really smoother than the stock humbucker, the highs are not as harsh as SD P.Gates, the mids more pronounced and the lows are tighter. Pickups tone are usually a personal taste, but this Dimarzio DP223 works well with trem bridge and bolt-on neck guitar like strat, making a warmer sound with balanced low-mid-high. Very good for blues, jazz, even hard rock.
I bought this over two years ago and never installed it because i had sold the guitar. I recently purchased a 2005 highway one stratocaster and installed it in this guitar witha gibson 500k volume pot. Instantly the first time i played it through a 1974 fender twin amp, it was tone i was looking for but never found in countless les pauls i owned. I sold them all and kept this stratocaster not because the money but for the tone. Becareful when installing because the wiring for dimarzio is different from duncan pu the black & white are soldered together and the red is the hot to the control & the green & bare wire are the ground. If you wire it like a duncan it is so dam brite it will shatter your teeth. I i get a les paul again i would not hesistate in replacing the pu with two of these dp223.It has a warm woody tone with a smooth blusey tone reminds me of zeppelin amped up blues through a marshall stack.
