DiMarzio DP223 PAF 36th Anniversary Bridge Pickup (Black)Here are the characteristics that make a great vintage humbucker: a soft magnetic field, sweet tone, perfect balance between warmth and clarity, the ability to go from clean to distorted by pick attack alone. For DiMarzio's PAF 36th Anniversary Bridge they wanted to continue in the path of pioneers such as Seth Lover (designer of the original Patent Applied For humbucker) and create pickups that combine all of the characteristics of great vintage

Here are the characteristics that make a great vintage humbucker: a soft magnetic field, sweet tone, perfect balance between warmth and clarity, the ability to go from clean to distorted by pick attack alone. For DiMarzio's PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge they wanted to continue in the path of pioneers such as Seth Lover (designer of the original Patent Applied For humbucker) and create pickups that combine all of the characteristics of great vintage humbuckers. These pickups are not merely clones. DiMarzio re-engineered the PAF® using their patented technology and Larry DiMarzio's own 1959 cherry sunburst Gibson® Les Paul® as the reference. Larry's Gibson® Les Paul® has a uniquely amazing sound and it's not only due to the pickups - it's the total fusion of many elements of the guitar itself.

Although the pickups have a weak magnetic field, the sound is well defined - almost like a single-coil. DiMarzio duplicated the weaker magnetic field in order to allow the strings to vibrate longer, as well as focus and articulate the attack and output. DiMarzio use computer-controlled winders to consistently layer the 42-gauge custom-coated wire, achieving the exact frequency response they want. Then it's dipped in their custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics. The cover is made from nickel-silver and theirr new plating makes it more magnetically transparent than the originals. The PAF® 36th Anniversary Neck is smooth but not muddy. It performs equally well in the neck or bridge, just as the best humbuckers from the 50s did.

The PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge is hotter than the Neck. It is not only for set neck 24 3/4" scale guitars, but it's also an excellent bridge pickup for trem-equipped bolt-ons.

The PAF® 36th Anniversary Bridge model has the best qualities of the Virtual PAF® bridge and Virtual Hot PAF® pickups and then some. It's as loud as the Virtual Hot PAF®, but has as much low-end and midrange definition as the Virtual PAF® Bridge Model. The highs are actually bigger and smoother than either model. The 4-conductor version also splits very well. Single-coil mode is bright, but not at all sterile-sounding.

Great product
Color: Grey, Size: 34"- 6 Panel
This room divider is great. It was easy to put together. I was worried about it standing up right and not falling over. It stays up perfectly and is very easy to move and adjust to the shape I want it. Also, from one of the videos I watched it looked like the fabric was puckered in the panels. That is not the case at all. The fabric fits tightly in each panel for a nice smooth look. I would definitely recommend this and would buy again if needed.

Awful.
Color: Black, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
Easiest one star review ever. I'm writing this with bloody fingers from assembling this. Multiple poles were bent, none of the pole connectors worked, the hex wrench broke in my hand, the screws didn't really go into the holes provided (I had to get a friend with a press drill to widen the holes to make it work), there are sharp edges on the poles where there is a seam, and doesn't look that great once assembled. Easy do not buy, the only reason I didn't return is because it would have been tough to disassemble the half I got through in the first 5 hours of building (mostly spent fixing the product delivered)

GET A VARIETY SET TO DECIDE WHICH FAVS TO BUY NEXT TIME. YOU’LL LIKELY WANT MORE FRESH OLIVES
Flavor Name: Green & Kalamata, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 5)
I did learn of these on Shark Tank and was glad I could try them through Amazon. (I discovered the lemon garlic variety was the one I enjoyed most, so I reordered just those next time.) These are fresh-tasting and hard to stop snacking at one 4-olive serving. If I had guests over, it’s something others would also enjoy. Nice that they come in zipper pack to keep them fresh.

Amazing ‘Go-to’ snack + !
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 6)
First of all, the olives taste great. I’ve tried some other olive ‘snack’ brands in the past and Freestyle is completely next level in quality, texture and flavor! Secondly, we have zero motivation to buy olives in the jar or at the Whole Foods counter now since these packs work for any application and never seem to get LOST in the back of the fridge. Great branding btw! 2 of our three kids (age 10 and 5) have taken notice and are now a fan of the ‘lemon garlic’. The 10 yr old was initially skeptical after reading the flavor 😂, but after trying them with me was totally down. My wife and I love all the flavors because we use them for different applications - Lemon Garlic and Spicy for snacking (obviously) and the Kalamata for recipes/cooking. My wife is Greek and loves that she now has a healthier alternative always on hand - has even inspired more Greek dishes! Way to go and looking forward to more great Freestyle Snacks!

Delicious and satisfying. Put more in
Flavor Name: Original, Lemon Garlic, Hot & Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Delicious. A bit over priced. Wish there were more in the package as I feel like I'm paying for packaging.
