Seymour DuncanPearly Gates Humbucker Pickup Set for Electric Guitar - Zebra

I spent a lot of time and money trying to find a decent pair of humbuckers that weren't overwhelming with harsh overdrive / distortion. I am playing a Les Paul Studio and homebuilt all-ash Les Paul through tube amplifiers. These pickpups are pretty much perfect. I wasn't necessarily looking for a Rev. Billy sound, but these come very close to producing the tone and response I associate with early 70's electric blues and rock & roll players featuring Les Paul guitars (Ace Frehley, Billy Gibbons, Mike Bloomfield, Rickey Medlocke, Joe Perry, Gary Rossington, early Martin Barre... ). There is a slight dip in the mid-range response - not really scooped, but you will notice it. Neck pickup can produce a very nice woman tone reminiscent of Cream. Now I can really crank up the amps without all the hash that came with other "Alnico II" pickup sets I have tried. Just what I was looking for. How can I not give these 5 stars?

Nice clean. Nice dirty and everywhere in between. These are the pickups you are looking for, If sound matters to you then spend the money. You will thank me later!

I bought these pickups for an Epiphone Standard Pro. This guitar feels great to play, but the epiphone pickups are too muddy for my taste. I bought these to fix this problem and wasn't disappointed. In comparison, these offer a much more "lyrical" sound. Where the Epiphone pickups have always sounded like the treble is muffled and the bass is sloppy, these tighten up the low end a bit and let the upper register really sing. Definitely not what I would chose for metal or extremely low tunings, but for just about everything else these are going to be my first choice in humbucker pickups.

Working great

I was not in love with the Gibson pups that my LP came stock with. I just couldn't filter out enough of the mud that they produced. I gutted the thing and replaced all of the electronics with CTS, Switchcraft, Orange Drop caps and these lovelies. They sound fantastic as humbuckers, and with a coil split, they are brilliant and articulate. In fact, they are calling me right now, so.....

Get out you credit card now and buy it!! 🔥🥵Now! Don't even ask, buy it! Now! Ahh Go to checkout!

I have Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in two of my instruments. This set I put in my “Tux” guitar to polish the look and sound 😁

These pickups exceeded my expectation. They made one of my Les Pauls a beast.

Estas pastillas superaron mis espectativas, tengo dos guitarras caras y este set se lo instalé a una Steinberger spirit, parece ridículo pero ahora la Spirit suena mucho mejor que emos otras dos guitarras, el sonido es muy versátil, desde sonidos limpios de jazz hasta distorsión saturada clásica.

Venduto direttamente da Amazon come nuovo ma, appena spacchettato, confezione visibilmente usata (decine di rigature sulla plastica) e modello non corrispondente (Black anziche Zebra). Reso immediato, almeno questo senza problemi.Peccato perchè i SeymourDuncan sono grandi pickup.

Ich spiele genau diese PUs in einer Les Paul und einer ES 335 , am lauten Röhrenamp aber low gain ohne Pedals. Hängen wunderbar am Git Volumen Pot, sehr fein anschlagsdynamisch spielbar und so aufklarend. Sehr ausgewogene Frequenzwiedergabe mit etwas mehr Transparenz und etwas mehr luftiger Brilliance , aber niemals harsch oder zirpend. Dadurch auch wunderbar für Jazz einsetzbar, Toneblende leicht geschlossen. Mehr output als bei solchen PUs braucht heute niemand mehr, denn typische Pedals oder Amps bieten gain Ende. Viele Pedals im Tube Screamer Style klingen sogar viel besser, wenn mit einem rel schwachen aber ausgeglichenem Signal ( wie auch mit Fender Tele oder Strat) gefüttert als mit High Output Metal PUs

I've always been a fan of the Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Pickups, I think I've bought about 6 or 7 sets over the years for different guitars, perfect.

Seymour duncan never failed me totally happy with my purchase
