We have several PAF style pickups listed here. All are good and compare well to my vintage original PAF guitars. F-Spaced. A DiMarzio term. It means the pole pieces have been spaced for a Fender guitar, most notably a Strat Regular Gibson spacing does not line up with the strings when you install a Humbucker in a strat. DiMarzio fixes that. Numbers like 6.7k - this is the DC resistance (ohms) of the pickup. It gives you an idea of how "hot" it is. But is not the whole story - pickups are inductors and the other part of the formula, the inductance (magnet and iron load in the pickup) is not measured - it can affect the tone dramatically and is a factor in modern design - 6 - 7k = fairly clean. 7k - 10k = fatter, medium hot. 11k and up, high gain pickup. Why not all high gain? High DC resistance rolls off the high frequencies. They can be restored with more magnet (which is what the designers do) but there is a limitation there - the magnet pulls the strings and makes the guitar sound out of tune on the high frets.
