Seymour Duncan SH PG1N Bridge Humbucker Tortoise Shell

The Seymour Duncan SH PG1N Pearly Gates delivers vintage–output humbucker tone with a focused midrange character and raw Texas–inspired aggression. Alnico 2 magnets provide warmth and dynamic response without excessive output, making this bridge pickup a go–to for players chasing thick, singing leads and chunky rhythm tones. The tortoise shell cover adds classic visual appeal to match the pickup's vintage voicing. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this passive humbucker honours the legacy of Billy Gibbons' original PAF while offering modern reliability and consistency.

DC resistance measures 8.2k ohms in the bridge position, placing this humbucker firmly in vintage–output territory with enough headroom for amp breakup without muddiness. The Alnico 2 magnet configuration yields a sweeter top end compared to Alnico 5, with enhanced touch sensitivity and harmonic complexity. Four–conductor shielded cable allows for coil splitting, series/parallel wiring, and phase reversal options when wired appropriately. This passive design requires no battery or preamp, maintaining simplicity in the signal path from string to amplifier.
