Pearly Gates Humbucker 2-piece Pickup Set - Zebra Review

It's the sound I have been searching for!

I have owned a Gibson Les Paul since I bought it as a gift to myself upon graduating college 20+ years ago. This was my first real guitar, something made the "right way" after owning several Chinese made items prior. However, it always seemed to sit on the wall as I acquired new toys like my Stratocaster, Telecaster, PRS, or 335. I always felt bad for this guitar, it deserved to… read more be played, but it just never called to me. Enter the Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates. I installed these today in the Les Paul and I can't put it down. It is the true 70's classic rock sound that I was always looking for. Songs I have been playing for years sound so much better. Bands like Zeppelin, Aerosmith and of course ZZ Top sound like I've always hoped they would. Funny part is, I took out a pair of Classic 57's from this guitar and sold them for more than the pearly gates cost me! If you are looking for something different and want a classic rock tone... this is your set!

Excellent Selection

The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Humbucker 2 Pickup Set are awesome.I have several different pickups in other guitars I own. I always look for unique sounds. These pickups are remarkable. I was skeptical when I purchased them. I replaced EMG Blackout pickups with these pickups and what a difference. These pickups can get down and dirty or ring sweet for mellow tunes. I probably… read more will purchase another set of these babies for one of my other guitars.

Pearly Gates Upgrade To Stratocaster

I've had a MIM Fender Standard Stratocaster HH for a number of years now and loved the flexibility it had due to it also having coil tap capabilities. The stock pickups were okay but not anything that would wow a player as they were ceramic magnet with not too broad of a frequency range. I have a Les Paul and a Gretsch, so I knew these stock pickups were definitely lacking. The… read more Pearly Gates humbucker set had been described by many reviews as being "full range, sweet, but rude if called upon". Got a set from Sweetwater and installed them in the old girl and she can sing or roar now with an amazing range of tones. I highly recommend these pickups, especially to anyone who may have a really nice playing guitar that happened to come with stock pickups that are barely making the grade. They transformed my really good guitar into a really great sounding guitar. Thanks to Sweetwater for being the best in the industry and to my sales rep, Tyler Nigro.
