Channel the raw Texas attitude of Billy Gibbons' legendary 1959 Les Paul with Seymour Duncan's Pearly Gates vintage output passive humbucker pickups. These country-fried humbuckers bring focused midrange punch and sizzle that turns any Les Paul style guitar into a classic rock machine. The neck pickup specifically captures the original mojo from Gibbons' iconic instrument, offering a unique tonal variation that sets it apart from typical humbuckers of that era.
What makes the Pearly Gates special is its enhanced midrange response that cuts through the mix with tailored mids, while maintaining the open and airy treble attack characteristic of its alnico 2 bar magnet. The warm, spongy low-end rounds out the frequency spectrum beautifully, making this pickup equally suited for both rhythm work and lead playing. This P.A.F.-style pickup offers more midrange presence than standard vintage humbuckers, giving players that extra edge they need.
Each Pearly Gates humbucker is meticulously hand-built in Seymour Duncan's Santa Barbara, California factory using premium components including an alnico 2 bar magnet and nickel silver bottom plate. The 4-conductor lead wire provides multiple wiring options for versatile installation, while vacuum wax potting ensures squeal-free performance. Every pickup is wound on Seymour's original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, preserving that authentic vintage character and unmistakable mojo.
