From Pearly Gates to Hades Gates: Same Personality, More Bite
The Pearly Gates set, derived from Billy Gibbons' highly coveted 1959 Les Paul, has established itself as a benchmark for P.A.F. tone purists. Over time, however, Billy wanted a pickup capable of delivering extra output on some guitars in his collection to more quickly achieve the bite and saturation he favors.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
The Seymour Duncan Hades Gates set zebra is designed for guitarists seeking an expressive humbucker that can transition from blues to rock and hard rock without losing its organic character. If you enjoy playing with pick attack, chaining bends, crunchy riffs, and leads that cut through the mix, this set offers a clear and musical response, particularly effective when the amp starts to break up.
A More Aggressive Humbucker Designed to Crunch the Amp
The Hades Gates carry the DNA of Billy's signature sound, featuring a winding that favors a beefier tone. Combined with Alnico II magnets, this added power helps push the amp into saturation more easily, producing warm, thick, bluesy crunch tones while retaining excellent playing feel. Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, they come with a 4-conductor output cable to expand wiring possibilities according to your electronics.
