From "Pearly Gates" to "Hades Gates": a spicier signature

Born from Billy Gibbons' love for the legendary P.A.F. spirit combined with his famous 1959 Les Paul, the Hades Gates takes the concept further: higher output, more attack, and saturation that comes on more easily. The goal is clear: to keep the vintage and expressive side while adding that extra "bite" that makes the amp respond and energizes every phrase.

Who is it for and what styles?

The Hades Gates is aimed at guitarists who want a blues/rock/hard rock humbucker capable of moving from thick cleans to creamy crunch, then to edgy saturation without losing the singing quality. Ideal if you play at guitar volume levels, with dynamics, and seek a pickup that respects your playing intention while offering a substantial power reserve.

Tonal character and design

Its more "aggressive" winding delivers a snappier response and a punchy feel, while the Alnico II maintains musical compression and smooth highs, perfect for expressive solos and warm rhythms. The 4-conductor cable opens the door to more creative wiring setups, adapting the pickup to your guitar and pedalboard, from vintage tone to denser rock. The reverse zebra finish adds a distinctive visual touch, blending tradition and attitude.
