Buy Seymour Duncan TB-PG1 Bridge Pearly Gates Trembucker Black F-SpacedSeymour Duncan TB-PG1 Bridge Pearly Gates Trembucker Black F-Spaced Product Description:
Product Description
Trembucker ('F' spaced) version of Seymour's warm, slightly-hotter-than-vintage humbucker. Great for blues, classic rock, southern rock, jam, and hard rock. Poles are spaced for use with tremolo bridges, Fender-spaced instruments, and post-1999 Gibson instruments.
Description
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.

At last, happy with the bridge
By tetsubo
Very highly recommended if you're after dinosaur rock/metal (70s - 90s), blues-based rock (obviously), or want a general purpose rock-oriented pickup that balances aggression and tone well. Great crunch, great full bottom end, lots of sound variation, and a lot of differentiation between sounds when wired to series/parallel and coil split.(I have this in the bridge of an ibanez ax120, a cheap mahogany-bodied gibson scale guitar with a fixed bridge, bolt maple neck, and a rosewood fretboard, with a sound close to a Gibson SG.)Before buying the pearly gates I was put off by the description of it as "low output" or "vintage" on the seymour duncan site, (I'm used to a dimarzio super distortion, a higher output bridge pickup), and becasue of multiple uses of the term "output" to mean different things, I was expecting something weaker sounding. In use the lower output means less sustain of individual notes, however it sounds much bigger and fuller and crunchier than the higher output pickups I've compared it to (namely dimarzio's super distortion and steve's special). this pickup does two contrary things at once: it fills out the bottom end, and adds clarity. it has fantastic punch. its alnico II magnet bar gives the pickup the kind of 'clang' sound common to earlier PAFs (think powerage era ac/dc). Its midrange sound gives the bridge a throaty crunch with overdrive, and a chime when used clean.caveats:1. This pickup doesn't ever not sound like itself, which is to say it has an idiosyncratic midrange sound that, once you hear, you will recognize no matter how hard you process it, so compare the Pearly to its more generic sounding brother the alnico II on the seymour duncan site before buying, to be sure that you in fact want that.2. For shredheads: this is a very worthy pickup with great harmonics, (particularly if you like surfing-era satriani) but the "low output" thing will effect you most, as the "insta-sustain" feel common to modern hot pickups is simply not there. I find the fuller sound of the notes is well worth the shift in technique this requires, you may not.3. For the drop-tuned doom crowd: pretty sure you stopped reading after I said "sound variation," so, what can I tell you. Girls probably want what you want, just try talking to them. Floss regularly. Those tattoos are obviously expensive and reveal you as middle-class wankers with cash to burn, not dangerous rouges, so consider rethinking that.
