Ideal for brighter toned instruments (electric guitars). Works especially well with maple and ebony fingerboards. Also works great with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.
Originally designed as a recreation of the pickups in the '59 Les Paul® Standard that defined the raw, rebellious sound of Texas Blues-Rock. The Pearly Gates is sweet, but slightly rude, with great sustain and a bright top end that make harmonics jump out of the guitar. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable. (Often used in both neck and bridge positions. Can be used in the bridge with an APH-1n Alnico II Pro in the neck for smoother tones; or, a Pearly Gates in the neck with an SH-11 Custom Custom for heavier rock sounds from the bridge position.)
The SH-PG1 is available in both neck and bridge models, with 4-wire cable, in black, white or zebra, with nickel or gold cover.
