Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Bridge Humbucker, Zebra

The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates (Zebra) is a hot‑vintage humbucker designed to capture the raw, expressive character of the legendary late‑’50s PAFs—especially the ones found in Billy Gibbons’ iconic “Pearly Gates” Les Paul. This pickup delivers a sweet, singing midrange, open top end, and a lively harmonic response that makes every note feel touch‑sensitive and musical. The zebra bobbins give it a classic, rock‑ready look that stands out in any guitar.

With slightly more output than a traditional PAF, the Pearly Gates offers extra bite and sustain without losing clarity. The pickup’s Alnico II magnet provides warm lows, smooth highs, and a vocal midrange that cuts through a mix beautifully. Whether you’re playing blues, rock, worship, or country, the Pearly Gates responds dynamically—clean when you play softly, gritty and expressive when you dig in.

Perfect for upgrading a Les Paul‑style guitar or adding vintage‑hot character to any humbucker‑equipped instrument, the Pearly Gates is a versatile, expressive pickup that feels alive under your fingers. It’s a boutique‑voiced classic with attitude, soul, and unmistakable personality.
