I know that the 36th Anniversary PAF "replaced" the VPAF set, but to my ear it's a bit thicker and fatter; the thing I liked about the VPAF set is that it had a decent amount of brightness to it, yet still stayed fat, almost like a thicker Stratocaster pickup.

Post below if you'd like DiMarzio to bring back the Virtual PAF set!

As much as I like the Paf 36th, I do believe that they should bring back the VPaf and VHPaf pickups as well. I don't see why they can't just offer it as a custom ordered pickup. You're getting my vote on this. If I do make it to NAMM this January I'll definitely ask the guys at Dimarzio about it.

You got my vote! The more pickups available the better IMO. I really like the idea of just making it available as a custom shop pickup.

I'm in...the more options the better.

 I agree with more is better providing there is a difference.

+1 on that. I'm hoping that they'd re-release the Virtual Hot Paf more than the Virtual Paf though.

It's funny you mention that... I've always been more of a VPAF guy than VHPAF guy.

Although I will say, the VHPAF does offer some sweet bridge tones, for a PAF-style pickup.

Bump...

Bud, is there any way we can sticky this?

Count me in.  I thought it was strange that Dimarzio discontinue what I thought was one of the best sounding PAFs on the market.  Bring back both the VPAF and VHPAF.

WHOEVER IS GOING TO NAMM NEXT WEEK! PLEASE BUG DIMARZIO ABOUT GETTING THE VPAF/VHPAF REINSTATED!

[wxs3]

how about bring them back with A2 magnets instead of the A5???  I have swapped out the magnet in mine for an A2 and they sound great!!   to me it sounds as good if not better than the duncan 78 model imo which will cost you $160.00

[CityofBlindingLights]

I actually like A5s. But once again, that's me.

[squawk]

+1 for this newbie.  in fact, i'm having to special order a VHPAF right now (through Mikes Music Shop) because they were discontinued.

Given that Dimarzio had been the pickups of choice for the Musicman Axis guitars for Van Halen, I find it interesting that there is now a new wolfgang guitar being released.  The clips that I have heard, it sounds very PAF-ish.  Could it be the VPaf and VHPaf are the new pups in the new wolfgang?
