Pickup covers are back! They protect pickups from damage and they provide extra shielding against noise. There is one drawback: since all metal covers cause a loss of presence, some of the attack is gone. Using our patented Airbucker^TM technology, we've created a pickup that sounds like the best humbuckers of the 50s' without any compromise in sound. Like the Air Classic^TM, the tone is subtle and complex. DiMarzio wax-dips the PAF Classic^® twice (the second time with the cover installed) to eliminate microphonic noise, and 4-conductor cable allows parallel and coil-splitting options.

Recommended For:

Neck and bridge positions in all solidbody, hollow and semihollowbody guitars.

Tech Talk:

Neck and bridge are slightly arbitrary designations for these pickups. The neck model has a very open, clear sound through the entire frequency range, so it's also a very good choice for cleaning up the bridge position of a muddy-sounding guitar.
