DiMarzio continues its illustrious history of innovation and tone crafting with the marriage of two iconic realms of pickup design: the PAF’Tron. Available in both neck- and bridge-mounted options, DiMarzio sought to reimagine its lauded PAF formula within the historic Filter’Tron housing without compromising the distinctive PAF profile. Luthiers and guitar techs at Sweetwater have taken their time with PAF’Tron pickups, and the verdict is clear: DiMarzio has undoubtedly struck the ideal balance between the resonance that naturally results from the soft magnetic field of PAF-style pickups with the clarity, accuracy, and warmth players of Filter’Tron-style pickups adore. While each PAF’Tron has near-endless sound-shaping capabilities on its own, deploying them as a pair elicits the true tone potential of these hybrid humbuckers. Armed with Alnico V magnets and painstakingly layered custom-coated 42-gauge wire, PAF’Tron pickups are carefully crafted to achieve their desired frequency response with close to zero margin of error.
Note: The Filter’Tron patented design, as well as the registered trademarks for both Gretsch and Filter’Tron, are owned by Gretsch Guitars, with which DiMarzio, Inc. is not affiliated.
