From "Pearly Gates" to "Hades Gates": The Spicier Version of the Legend
Between fiery playing and a taste for spicier flavors, Billy Gibbons has always liked it a bit "hotter." The Pearly Gates set, derived from his highly coveted 1959 Les Paul, has become a benchmark for vintage P.A.F.-style humbucker enthusiasts. With the Hades Gates, the idea is clear: to maintain that organic and musical side while adding the extra power needed to make certain guitars respond and push the amp harder.
For Which Guitarists and Guitars
The Seymour Duncan Hades Gates is aimed at guitarists who want an expressive humbucker capable of moving from blues to hard rock without losing nuance. It excels on Les Paul, SG, and other solid-body guitars when seeking dense rhythms, generous sustain, and solos that "speak." If you play with volume and touch, you will appreciate its dynamic response and warm character.
A More Muscular Humbucker, Still Warm and Bluesy
The Hades Gates is a more aggressive interpretation of Billy's signature sound, with a winding designed to increase output level. The result: easier saturation, full crunches, a nice thickness in the mids, and a very lively feel under the fingers. The Alnico II magnet provides that typical smoothness and pleasant natural compression, perfect for blues-rock licks, singing bends, and creamy overdrives. Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup in a black finish comes with a 4-conductor output cable to fit modern setups and get the most out of your electronics.
