Key Features
The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates SH-PG1, zebra, is a warm, slightly-hotter-than-vintage humbucker, which works great for blues, classic rock, jam, southern rock and hard rock. These pickups boast players such as Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule), Howard Leese (Heart) and Greg Martin (Kentucky Headhunters).
Recreating the '59 Les Paul Pickups
The SH-PG1 was originally designed to recreate the '59 Les Paul® Standard pickups that had brought a defining raw, rebellious sound of Texas blues-rock. The Pearly Gates provides great sustain and a bright top end which really enhances harmonics. This pickup has a nickel cover and includes a four-conductor hookup cable.
Works Great with Others
The SH-PG1 neck pickup pairs well with an SH-11 Custom Custom in the bridge for heavier rock sounds from the bridge position.
Recommended with Brighter Toned Instruments
It's great for brighter toned instruments, especially for guitars with maple and ebony fingerboards. It also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.
