A set inspired by great vintage tones, with a touch of bite
The Pearly Gates is designed to capture the spirit of late 1950s humbuckers, with that extra edge that brings out attack and harmonics. The result: a sound that is both smooth and slightly "gritty", perfect for blues-rock riffs, singing leads, and rhythms that stay lively even with gain.
Who is it for, and what for?
This kit is aimed at guitarists seeking a versatile and musical set : a warm and defined neck pickup for chord playing, blues, and fluid solos, plus a bridge pickup with the extra drive needed to crunch the amp without harshening the high end. Very well suited for guitars with a naturally bright tone (and more broadly for any guitar that deserves a "vintage plus" humbucker).

Questions frequently asked
What sound do Pearly Gates pickups deliver?
The Alnico II magnet promotes a smooth response with extra bite in the attack and harmonics. The set is geared towards blues-rock riffs, singing leads, and gain-driven rhythms.
Can the pickups be split?
The 4-conductor wiring allows for coil-splitting to achieve snappier tones. Parallel wiring can also be considered to add more clarity. These options require guitar electronics compatible with the chosen wiring.
What is the resistance of the neck and bridge pickups?
The specified resistances are 7.30 kOhm for the neck and 8.35 kOhm for the bridge.
Is this set suitable for neck and bridge positions?
The configuration includes one humbucker designed for the neck position and another for the bridge position. The neck pickup is described as warm and defined, while the bridge offers more drive.
Seymour Duncan SH-PG1S-N Pearly Gates Kit Nickel: what finish does it have?
The nickel finish covers both humbuckers in the set. This is a passive dual-coil pickup kit for electric guitar.
