Description
Some pickups whisper vintage PAF, and some just go for the throat. The Pearly Gates set does both at once. Born from a hunt to recreate the guitar tone on a certain ’59 Les Paul Standard, this humbucker pair sits just above true vintage output, giving you extra push into the amp without losing the sweetness that made that guitar famous in the first place.
- Warmer and slightly hotter than a vintage-spec humbucker, with enough sustain to let notes hang in the air
- A bright, articulate top end that makes pinch harmonics leap out rather than get buried
- Voiced for blues, classic rock, southern rock, jam band noodling, and hard rock alike
- Includes SH-PG1N (neck) and SH-PG1B (bridge), each wired with four-conductor cable for coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring options
This pair is most commonly run neck and bridge together for a complete tonal setup, letting you move between rhythm warmth and lead-line bite without touching a dial. Because the Pearly Gates leans bright, it’s an especially good match for guitars that already run on the darker side — think maple or ebony fingerboards, or hollow and semi-hollow bodies looking for a little more snap and definition.
This listing includes a free set of Elixir light guitar strings, so your new pickups go in ready to be strung up and played, not just admired.
