The PAF Joe™ is the latest neck pickup we developed for Joe Satriani. Joe wanted a neck position humbucker that combined the best qualities of the PAF Pro® with those of a late 50s Gibson® humbucker. Joe describes this tone as being “tubular”. Through the use of Virtual Vintage® technology, clear-sounding low frequencies are blended with warm-sounding mids and high frequencies, which makes the PAF Joe™ equally good for chords and single notes. Joe first used it throughout the 2003 G3 tour.
What does “tubular” mean? In this case, it means making low notes “speak” more clearly while giving high notes a rounder voicing. This accomplishes two goals: chords have better definition, and single notes at higher fret positions remain warm-sounding rather than getting thinner. The PAF Joe™ has slightly less power than the PAF Pro®. It balances well with bridge pickups like the PAF Pro®, FRED®, The Breed™ Neck Model, Air Norton™, and Norton®.

“DiMarzio pickups will make you rock!”
JOSH RAND
"With the diversity of Stone Sour I can not settle with a one trick pony pickup. I need pickups that can be fat, punchy and loud without losing presence, dynamics and definition. And Dimarzio delivers!"
ALESSANDRO BENVENUTI
“I have always used and loved DiMarzio pickups. They have been in my guitars since I was 15 years old. What I love about DiMarzio is that they are very clear and defined without being too harsh, and they can be warm without being muddy. They are perfect for my tone!”
