Seymour Duncan SH-PG1n Pearly Gates Black Pickup

The SH-PG1n uses nickel silver bottom plate construction and four-conductor wiring for enhanced tonal clarity and flexible configuration options, compared to the original SH-PG1. Both share the warm P.A.F. design, but the 'n' version offers more wiring versatility and refined harmonic response.

This pickup excels at blues, rock, and hard rock with its warm, articulate character and natural harmonic complexity. It is not designed for thrash metal or djent styles, where darker, more aggressive tones and higher output are typically preferred.

The SH-PG1n is slightly hotter than vintage P.A.F.-style pickups, giving it enough presence and cut for contemporary performance and recording without losing the warm, balanced response that defines the classic design.

Four-conductor wiring allows you to run the pickup in series (traditional), parallel (thinner, more articulate tone), or as a split coil, letting you customize the final voice to match your amp and playing style.

No; the pickup is vacuum wax potted specifically to eliminate squeal and ensure squeal-free operation across single-note passages and full chords, even when driven hard.
