A PAF-style humbucker, designed for refined rock
The SH-PG1N-N "Pearly Gates" is a humbucker pickup with a decidedly vintage character, designed to capture the spirit of the classic double coils era: present low mids, rich harmonics, and a smooth response that highlights playing nuances. Nickel-plated, it naturally fits guitars with a classic look while offering a genuine boost of personality.
Who is this neck pickup for?
If you're looking for a neck pickup capable of covering blues to classic rock, including southern rock, jam sessions, and even hard rock, this model is a reliable choice. It suits both singing solos and open chords as well as thick riffs, with excellent clarity when you roll down the guitar's volume a bit.
Split, dynamics, and balance: wiring options that expand your playing
With its 4-conductor wiring, the Pearly Gates neck pickup lends itself to versatile setups: coil splitting for clearer, airier textures, or alternative wiring to fine-tune the balance between attack and warmth. Its Alnico II magnet provides a softer response than an Alnico V, helping maintain a smooth touch and a top end that's never harsh-especially appreciated on bright guitars.
