Pearly gates plus pickup review.

There s only ever going to be one pearly gates the legendary 59 les paul made immortal by zz top s billy gibbons. The 59 is an alnico v pickup with a wind very close to that of the pearly gates plus. The 59 usually comes in single conductor cable but it can be ordered with the 4 conductor wiring option. 8 images and 2 user review s.

The closest pickup available in our regular line to a pearly gates plus is a 59 model with 4 conductor cable. So billy gibbons goes to seymour duncan to replicate the exact pickups of his pearly so that mr gibbons can put them on his newer les pauls. It is a p a f. Our country fried pearly gates humbucker pickups transform any les paul style guitar into a classic rock outlaw.

But the wizards at seymour duncan have cloned the pickups. The pearly gates neck captures all the mojo of the original neck pickup from billy gibbons 1959 les paul. Mr duncan gets precise research and finally eureka he shouts. With a unique tonal variation that provides more midrange than typical humbuckers from that time.

Gibson even used them on their pearly gates replica but will adding a set to your les paul clone make you sound like a million dollars.
