Seymour Duncan SHPG1 Pearly Gates Humbucker Pickup
Model Options:  
Collapse 
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.

Players

  • Dickey Betts (neck & bridge)
  • Warren Haynes - Gov’t Mule (neck & bridge)
  • Howard Leese - Heart (neck & bridge)
  • Greg Martin - Kentucky Headhunters (neck & bridge)

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.
