Description
The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Humbucker Pickup Set is based on the PAF pickups from Billy Gibbons' 1959 Gibson Les Paul and pack ton of focused midrange attitude with raw Texas punch and sizzle.
The Pearly Gates neck captures all the mojo of the original neck pickup from Billy's guitar, it is a PAF with a unique tonal variation that provides more midrange than typical humbuckers from that time. The result is a neck pickup that cuts through with stronger tailored mids, but still has the open and airy treble attack of the alnico 2 bar magnet. Combined with a warm, spongy low end this pickup is great for both rhythm and lead playing.
Seymour discovered Billy's bridge pickup had slightly more output than most PAFs which helped to give it the extra drive that make this pickup so special. The alnico 2 bar magnet keeps the high end sounding airy but focused and the midrange emphasis gives it a unique Texas sizzle. It really has a growl all its own and will help to bring any humbucker equipped guitar to life.
Every Pearly Gates is wound on Seymour's original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo for that unmistakable vintage mojo and have a nickel silver bottom plate, 4 conductor hookup wire for multiple wiring options and are vacuum wax potted for squeal free performance.
