From the "Pearly Gates" Spirit to a More Powerful Version
Inspired by the P.A.F. DNA that made the Pearly Gates set famous, linked to Billy Gibbons' legendary 1959 Les Paul, the Hades Gates builds on this sonic foundation appreciated by purists while adding the energy needed when some guitars demand higher output. The result: a humbucker that retains rich mids but with greater responsiveness to launch your riffs and solos.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Seymour Duncan Hades Gates bridge pickup is aimed at musicians seeking an expressive pickup capable of moving from tight crunch to heavy saturation without losing its tone. Perfect for blues rock, vintage hard rock, singing leads, and thick rhythms, it highlights right-hand touch and provides a true "push" feel into the amp, ideal for achieving a warm, burning signature sound.
More Output, Same Personality: A Humbucker That Brings Out the Mids
Thanks to the Alnico 2 magnets and this increased output level, the Hades Gates pushes your amp into warmer, more cutting territories with a nice midrange density. You get easy harmonics, a sharp attack at the bridge, and saturation that remains clear even when you crank the gain. Designed for electric guitar installation, this model is handmade in Santa Barbara, California and comes with a 4-conductor cable and short mounting tabs to facilitate installation on many instruments.
