Model Options: View More Images Overall Ratings: 5.0 2 Review (s) - 2 Rating (s) Product Description of: Seymour Duncan SHPG1B Pearly Gates Bridge The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates was originally designed as a recreation of the pickups in the ’59 Les Paul® Standard that defined the raw, rebellious sound of Texas blues-rock. The Pearly Gates is sweet, but slightly rude, with great sustain and a bright top end that make harmonics jump out of the guitar. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable. Application Warm, slightly-hotter-than-vintage humbucker. Great for blues, classic rock, southern rock, jam, and hard rock. Complete Setup Often used in both neck and bridge positions. Can be used in the bridge with an APH-1n Alnico II Pro in the neck for smoother tones; or, a Pearly Gates in the neck with an SH-11 Custom Custom for heavier rock sounds from the bridge position. Guitars For brighter toned instruments. Works especially well with maple and ebony fingerboards. Also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.

Customer Review Rate and Review this Product: 2 people wrote reviews 2 people rated this item Guitarguy74 from Crossville, Tn, U.S. Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: Awesome Tone!!! Quality: It's a Seymour Duncan. Need I say more? Sound: The tone is just amazing. It has great lows, just the right amount of mids, and enough treble to cut through, do effortless harmonic squeals, but not sound harsh. The top end is "sweet". A word to the wise, this pickup is transparent when it comes to playing fast, so your technique had better be up to task as it won't hide any slop in your playing. Reliability: Have had it in my guitar for ten years Overall: This pickup came stock in my Big Apple Strat. All I can say is that for me, there is no other pickup. Playability and Feel: n/a Tone: Bright but not harsh, great for heavy blues, rock, and metal. Output is medium, but with all the gain built in to amps these days, you really don't need terribly hot pickups. Finish: n/a Action: n/a Skill Level: Pro-Rock Star Do you own this product?: yes Date submitted: 1-17-2010 Michael from Kearney, Nebraska, USA Overall Ranking: Overall: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: THIS IS A TONE MONSTER!! Quality: A highly reliable product that sounds great! Hasn't let me down yet--I had one of these installed in my Epi LP Honeyburst plustop, and it just makes my guitar SCREAM!!! Pick squeals sound reminiscent of BFG with this baby. Reliability: Had it for 2 years, and hasn't quit on me yet, and I don't expect it too. Overall: Ballsy biting tone, and blends well with the SD PAF in the neck position as well. Playability and Feel: I've played with both pickups on, adjusting vol/tone controls, and come up with some great sounds-- very versatile. Tone: Broad spectrum of tone -- ballsy, biting, warm Finish: Black coils look fantastic with the flame on my 'burst Action: Professionally installed by my buddy Alex at Marina Music. Those guys know their stuff, and don't charge an arm and a leg to install or adjust guitars. Skill Level: Intermediate Do you own this product?: Yes Date submitted: 5/15/09 Read all reviews
