Seymour Duncan SH-PG1n Pearly Gates White Pickup

The SH-PG1n Pearly Gates is a neck-position humbucker built on an Alnico 2 bar magnet that delivers the articulate, vintage-tinged clarity a gigging guitarist needs without sacrificing the presence and punch required to cut through a live mix. This passive pickup balances warmth with definition, making it equally reliable in blues, classic rock, and modern high-gain contexts where a neck pickup has to hold its own on stage.

Tone & Output Character

This humbucker produces a slightly hotter-than-vintage output that sits perfectly between traditional neck warmth and contemporary aggression. The Alnico 2 magnet contributes a smooth, organic breakup with natural compression, while the 8.35k DC resistance ensures responsive dynamics and clear articulation across the frequency spectrum.

Installation & Wiring Options

The SH-PG1n ships with a four-conductor hookup cable, enabling series, parallel, or split coil wiring configurations for maximum tonal flexibility. Standard-spacing construction ensures hassle-free installation in most modern and vintage instrument cavities.
