Seymour Duncan SH-PG1b Pearly Gates White Pickup

The SH-PG1b Pearly Gates White is a legendary humbucker trusted by touring and studio players for its articulate, singing sustain with responsive dynamics across the full frequency spectrum. This pickup balances clarity and aggression, cutting through live mixes in blues, rock, and metal without sacrificing note definition or feel. The white cover provides classic aesthetics while maintaining the tonal signature that's made it a workhorse in rigs across the world.

Tone & Construction

Built around an Alnico 2 bar magnet, this pickup responds to pick attack and finger dynamics with natural compression that enhances articulation and sustain under stage pressure. The nickel silver bottom plate contributes to the overall harmonic character, while vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback for clean, squeal-free operation when you're running high-gain tones in loud venues.

Wiring & Setup

The included 4-conductor lead wire enables multiple wiring configurations, allowing split-coil operation or series/parallel switching depending on your guitar's electronics platform. This versatility makes the Pearly Gates adaptable to various control schemes without requiring modification to the pickup itself—swap it into your rig and dial it in.
