DiMarzio PAF 57 Bridge Alnico II Humbucker Pickup Black

Classic bridge humbucker tone with vintage-inspired clarity

The DiMarzio PAF 57 Bridge humbucker delivers the open dynamics and musical response associated with classic late-1950s humbucker designs. Powered by a 2.5" Alnico II magnet and wound with 42 AWG enamel wire using computer-controlled scatter-winding, it produces rich harmonic detail while maintaining clarity and responsiveness across a wide range of playing styles.

The tonal balance features a bright attack, smooth midrange and full low end that supports both articulate rhythm work and expressive lead playing. With a DC resistance of 8.63 kΩ, the bridge model provides slightly higher output than the neck version, helping maintain presence and definition in the bridge position. Wax potting reduces microphonic feedback, ensuring stable performance at higher volumes and under gain.

Nickel-plated pole pieces and studs complement the traditional construction, while a maple spacer keeps the coils aligned for consistent output and tone.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the PAF 57 Bridge is a great choice for players seeking vintage-style humbucker tone with balanced output and dynamic response.
