Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates, Trembucker

The Pearly Gates bridge was patterned after the original bridge pickup from Billy Gibbon's 1959 Les Paul. It had slightly more output than most PAFs, which helped to give it the extra drive that made it so special. The Alnico 2 bar magnet keeps the high end sounding airy but focused, and the midrange emphasis gives it a unique Texas sizzle. It really has a growl all its own, and will help to bring any humbucker style instrument to life. Match with the Pearly Gates neck model for the full Texas sizzle. Wound on Duncan's original Leesona winding machine from the early Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, for that unmistakable vintage mojo. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA.

• Trembuckers have wider pole piece spacing than standard bridge humbuckers. On guitars with wide-spaced tremolo systems or wide hardtail bridges, this helps the pole pieces align with the strings better. If you’re not sure which spacing your particular guitar requires, simply measure from the center of each of the E strings. We've found that for bridges with a spacing of 2-1/8" or less, Trembuckers are generally not necessary.
