Experience outstanding clarity, expressive dynamics, and versatile guitar tone with the DiMarzio DP151 PAF Pro Humbucker Pickup. Designed to combine the open, musical character of a vintage PAF-style humbucker with the articulation and presence required for modern guitar playing, the PAF Pro is an excellent choice for musicians seeking a balanced and highly responsive pickup.
Introduced in 1985, the PAF Pro was developed during the rise of technically demanding guitar playing, high-gain amplifiers, and sophisticated rack effects systems. Its distinctive voicing provides the clarity needed to remain audible through complex effects chains without sacrificing the warmth and fullness associated with traditional humbuckers.
One of the PAF Pro’s defining characteristics is its carefully tuned midrange presence. Its distinctive vocal-like emphasis helps individual notes stand out, while a balanced treble response produces articulate highs without excessive harshness. The low frequencies offer a satisfying combination of attack and fullness, making the pickup equally effective for rhythm and lead performances.
Equipped with an Alnico 5 magnet, the PAF Pro delivers a natural, responsive sound with excellent note definition. Its manufacturer-rated 300mV output provides a versatile medium-power response suitable for rock, blues-rock, fusion, progressive rock, and expressive instrumental guitar playing.
The PAF Pro is particularly effective when used with overdrive and high-gain amplifiers. Its open tonal character allows fast melodic passages, complex chords, and sustained lead notes to remain clear even when combined with distortion, delay, chorus, and other guitar effects.
Designed for both neck and bridge positions, the pickup offers exceptional installation flexibility. In the neck position, it pairs well with higher-output bridge pickups such as the DiMarzio Norton, The Tone Zone, and X2N. In the bridge position, its moderate output allows it to blend effectively with traditional single-coil pickups without overpowering them.
Featuring four-conductor wiring, the PAF Pro supports alternative configurations, including coil splitting and parallel humbucking when installed with compatible switching electronics. Its passive construction requires no battery and integrates with conventional guitar controls.
Available in Black and Pink, with both Standard and F-Spaced versions, the PAF Pro accommodates a variety of compatible six-string electric guitars while offering different visual styles.
Whether you’re upgrading a versatile performance guitar, building a custom instrument, or seeking clear and expressive humbucker tones, the DiMarzio PAF Pro offers an excellent balance of vintage warmth, modern articulation, dynamic response, and musical versatility.
