Our country-fried Pearly Gates humbucker pickups transform any Les Paul style guitar into a classic rock outlaw. The Pearly Gates neck captures all the mojo of the original neck pickup from Billy Gibbons’ 1959 Les Paul. It is a P.A.F. 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 P.A.F.s, which helped to give it the extra drive that made 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 has a growl all its own and will help to bring any humbucker-equipped instrument to life.
