Description
Seymour Duncan built the Pearly Gates to chase a very specific ghost: the raw, biting tone of a ’59 Les Paul Standard that helped define Texas blues-rock. This SH-PG1N/SH-PG1B set delivers exactly that — a humbucker slightly hotter than vintage-output, with a sweetness up top that turns just a little rude when you dig in. Sustain runs long, and harmonics practically leap off the strings without any extra effort on your part.
- Warm, vintage-leaning tone with a modern edge in output
- Bright, articulate top end that favors pinch harmonics and pick attack
- Suited to blues, classic rock, southern rock, jam bands, and hard rock
- Four-conductor hookup cable included for coil-split wiring flexibility
- Commonly run as a matched set in both neck and bridge positions
Because the Pearly Gates already leans bright, it shines on guitars that could use a touch more sparkle — think maple or ebony fingerboards, or hollow and semi-hollow bodies looking for extra clarity and bite. This set arrives with a free pair of Elixir Custom Light guitar strings, so you can drop in your new pickups and put fresh strings on at the same time.
