Seymour DuncanPearly Gates Neck Nickel
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for the neck position, the nickel Pearly Gates humbucker draws on the neck pickup from Billy Gibbons’ 1959 Les Paul. It takes a P.A.F. variation with stronger midrange, pairing that emphasis with an open treble response from its Alnico 2 bar magnet and a warm, spongy low end. In a Les Paul-style guitar, it is voiced for classic-rock rhythm work and lead lines, with a midrange presence intended to cut through.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classic-rock rhythm and lead parts on a Les Paul-style guitar.
