The PAF Pro was created for chops-intensive playing with high-gain amps: presence and cut with an open PAF vibe, a midrange spike DiMarzio likens to a wah parked in the middle, and highs that stand out without getting brittle. Outstanding as a neck pickup; also an exceptional bridge when high output is not required. Used on Steve Vai's earliest Jems before The Breed.
