A "vintage" classic designed to recapture the soul of great guitars
The Pearly Gates is designed to immerse your instrument in the world of vintage tones: a humbucker that emphasizes musicality, character, and warmth without sacrificing definition. In the bridge position, it delivers that extra bite and presence essential for blues-rock riffs, singing leads, and textured rhythms.
Who is this bridge humbucker for?
This pickup is aimed at guitarists who want an expressive and lively sound, with a true "response under the fingers" feel. It is particularly suited for blues, classic rock, southern rock, and vintage hard rock styles, and for anyone seeking a warm tonal signature rather than a high level of modern gain. Ideal for energizing a somewhat tame guitar while maintaining excellent control through playing dynamics and volume and tone controls.
Warmth, nuance, and versatility: the Pearly Gates recipe
Thanks to its Alnico 2 magnets, the Pearly Gates delivers a rounder attack and a pleasant natural compression, perfect for making bends sing and achieving smooth sustain. Its custom winding promotes rich and clear tones, with present mids that cut well in the mix. The balanced output ensures optimal tonal versatility: enough level to drive an amp, while retaining definition for chords and articulate lines.
