The Seymour Duncan SH PG1N Pearly Gates delivers vintage–output humbucker tone with a focus on aggressive midrange and Texas–inspired grit. Designed for bridge position mounting, this passive pickup uses an Alnico 2 magnet to produce warmth and clarity without losing the raw edge that made the original famous. The gold mesh cover adds visual appeal while maintaining the tonal character that defined Billy Gibbons' legendary recordings.
With a DC resistance of 8.2k ohms, the PG1N sits in the sweet spot between vintage warmth and modern output levels. Four–conductor shielded cable allows coil–splitting and phase reversal wiring options, expanding tonal flexibility beyond standard humbucker operation. Every component is designed and manufactured in the USA, ensuring consistent quality and authentic voicing. The Alnico 2 magnet provides a smoother top end compared to Alnico 5, making high–gain tones more controllable while retaining articulation across all six strings.
