Description
The Pearly Gates humbucker set exists because of one guitar: a ’59 Les Paul Standard that helped invent Texas blues-rock. Seymour Duncan reverse-engineered that instrument’s snarl and sustain, then dialed the output up just slightly past vintage territory. What you get is a pickup that’s genuinely sweet on clean chords but turns rude the moment you dig in — harmonics practically leap off the string, and notes hang on for days.
- Reverse zebra bobbins (SH-PG1N neck / SH-PG1B bridge) for a matched, cohesive set
- Slightly hotter than true vintage output — more push into the amp without losing clarity
- Ships with four-conductor hookup cable for coil-splitting and phase flexibility
- Suited to blues, classic rock, southern rock, jam, and hard rock playing
Run it as a full set in neck and bridge, or pair a single unit with another pickup of your choosing. This set leans especially well into brighter-voiced guitars — maple and ebony fingerboards bring out its top-end shimmer — and it’s equally at home in hollow and semi-hollow bodies looking for a little more grit.
Every set here comes bundled with a free pack of Ernie Ball 2225 Extra Slinky strings. Nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hex steel core, with tin-plated high-carbon-steel plain strings, gauges .008–.038 for a balanced, road-tested feel and tone.
