From "Pearly Gates" to "Hades Gates": More Output, More Character

With fiery solos and his taste for "spicing up" the sound, Billy Gibbons has never sought warmth. The Pearly Gates pickup set, born from his precious 1959 Les Paul, has become a reference for fans of authentic P.A.F. tones. But on some guitars in his collection, Billy wanted more output to instantly regain his signature bite without losing musicality and feel.

For Which Guitarist and Style?

The Hades Gates bridge is aimed at guitarists who like a dynamic humbucker capable of driving the amp further with more punch in the mids. Perfect for electric blues, beefy vintage rock, thick riffs, and leads that need to stay clear in the mix. In the bridge position, it delivers immediate presence and a very organic "burning" sensation while maintaining a nice response to the guitar's volume control.

Seymour Duncan Design: Versatile Wiring and Practical Mounting

This pickup is handmade in Santa Barbara, California, featuring a 4-conductor cable to explore different wiring configurations depending on your circuit and preferences. It also has short mounting legs, an important detail for installation on many instruments, especially when cavity space is limited. The white finish adds a clean aesthetic touch, ideal for guitars with a contrasting look.
