The Warmer Than PAF 5050rz

The Warmer PAF 5050rz

The Warmer PAF RZ is a beautifully crafted neck position pickup.  It's engineered to the standards of the PAF with some added warmth It's been called, "well balanced and beautiful." The Warmer PAF RZ was the idea of famed guitarist Ron Zabrocki.  Ron and I were chatting about guitar pickups.  I asked him, "if I could design a pickup specifically for you what would you like what would it sound like?"  He said. "you know I would love a pickup like they made at the early point in the PAF life cycle.  When they made them great!  They don't make them like that.  I had an old Les Paul that had this crazy sound that no other Humbucker comes close.  The only thing I would ask for is a little extra warmth." So I went to work.  It wasn't easy.  Trying to please an artist with two simple adjectives was like being dropped if in an unfamiliar city without a map.   I looked up all kinds of formulas, talked with Ron a little more about who inspired and inspires him.  I'll tell ya I was nervous even

"The Warm PAF RZ in the neck position handles a bluesy overdrive exceptionally well (Ron Zabrocki)"
