DiMarzio® PAF Joe™ Pickup
F-Spaced Pols – Chrome Bobbins
Smooth Vintage Tone with Enhanced Clarity
The DiMarzio PAF Joe™ Pickup, developed for Joe Satriani, is a refined take on classic PAF-style tone with improved clarity and definition.
Designed to excel in the neck position, it delivers warm lows, smooth mids, and a sparkling top end—perfect for articulate lead playing and expressive phrasing.
Open Response with Modern Precision
Unlike traditional neck humbuckers that can sound dark or muddy, the PAF Joe™ is engineered for transparency and note separation.
Its open, dynamic response makes it equally effective for clean passages and overdriven tones, offering excellent versatility across styles.
