Description
Seymour Duncan SH-PG1n Pearly Gates Rev. Zebra Pickup
The SH-PG1n Pearly Gates Rev. Zebra is a neck-position humbucker built to deliver articulate, musical response with smooth high-end definition on stage and in the studio. This pickup balances clarity and sustain, handling classic rock, blues, and modern styles where tonal nuance keeps the audience engaged. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with meticulous attention to detail, it's designed for gigging musicians and players who demand both vintage character and refined modern performance without compromise.
Tonal Character & Specifications
The 7.5 kOhm DC resistance and 7.1 kHz resonant frequency give this neck pickup a clear, focused voice that cuts through a live mix without excessive harshness. An Alnico 2 bar magnet paired with a nickel silver bottom plate contributes to the warm, balanced tonality that defines the Pearly Gates lineage, while vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback for squeal-free operation under stage lights and high-temperature conditions.

This humbucker ships with a four-conductor lead wire, enabling multiple wiring configurations to suit your instrument's electronics and tonal preferences. The compact dimensions—3.00" wide × 1.00" tall × 6.00" deep—ensure straightforward installation into standard humbucker cavities without modification, keeping downtime minimal before your next gig.

Frequently Asked Questions
What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?
The SH-PG1n excels in blues, classic rock, jazz, and progressive music where articulate, nuanced tone matters. It is not designed for metal or djent styles, which typically require higher output and more aggression than this pickup delivers.
Will this pickup fit my guitar without modification?
Yes, the compact dimensions (3.00 inches wide, 1.00 inch tall, 6.00 inches deep) are standard for humbucker cavities, so installation requires no routing or modification to most guitars with dual-humbucker configurations.
What is the four-conductor lead wire used for?
The four-conductor lead enables multiple wiring configurations such as single-coil mode, series, parallel, and coil-tap options, allowing you to customize the tonal character to match your amp, playing style, and instrument electronics.
How does the Alnico 2 magnet affect the tone compared to other pickups?
Alnico 2 magnets provide warm, musical response with smooth sustain and refined high-end clarity. Paired with the nickel silver bottom plate and 7.5 kOhm resistance, this combination delivers articulate tone that balances vintage character with modern definition.
What does vacuum wax potting do?
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and unwanted squeal, ensuring clean, stable performance during recording sessions and live performances without compromising tone.
