Modeled after Billy Gibbons’ legendary 1959 Les Paul, the Pearly Gates neck pickup delivers vintage P.A.F. warmth with an extra midrange bite, allowing your leads to cut through while maintaining an open, airy treble attack thanks to its Alnico 2 bar magnet. With a spongy, dynamic low-end, the Pearly Gates neck pickup is perfect for both rhythm and lead playing—whether you’re after smooth bluesy licks or gritty rock solos. Get the Pearly Gates humbuckers today at Sadek Music and experience the legendary tone for yourself!

Seymour Duncan discovered that Billy Gibbons' bridge pickup had a bit more output than most P.A.F.s, giving it that extra drive and signature Texas sizzle. The Alnico 2 bar magnet keeps the highs airy yet focused, while the midrange punch adds a distinctive growl, making it stand out in any mix. This versatile, vintage-voiced humbucker will bring any guitar to life, whether you're chasing bluesy overdrive, classic rock crunch, or smooth leads.

Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the Pearly Gates vintage output humbucker pickups use an alnico 2 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. The Pearly Gates bridge is available in both standard humbucker and Trembucker spacing. As with all our P.A.F. style humbuckers, every Pearly Gates is wound on Seymour’s original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, for that unmistakable vintage mojo.
