The Hades Gates humbuckers add a little extra heat to the unique PAF pickups found in the Billy Gibbon’s coveted ‘59 Les Paul.
The Reverend’s signature sound is carried over but with slightly more Texas heat than the Pearly Gates humbucker set. The neck and bridge hover around 8k and 8.9k which helps retain that mid forward tone while providing extra output to help cut through the mix and push your favorite tube amp into creamy overdrive. Both pickups remain incredibly clear and dynamic, one of the features that sets PAF style pickups apart from designs from designs in the 70s and 80s.
Best of all, the Hades Gates pickups still allow you to clean up with your volume knob while usage of the tone knobs showcase the midrange that is so crucial in Billy Gibbon’s signature sound.
For fans of single coil equipped guitars, Seymour Duncan expands on their Strat sized Red Devil humbuckers by offering a new drop in replacement for your Telecaster bridge pup. The Alnico 5 magnet keeps the jangle of your 25.5” scale guitar intact but its searing output and warmer top end goes even farther than traditional vintage humbuckers. Whether you are looking for pinch harmonics and classic Willy G signature sounds or a way to get the warmth and humcanceling of an LP in your Tele, the Red Devil is ready to make that deal happen.
As with all Seymour Duncan pickups, the Hades Gates and Red Devil pickups are hand built in California, so check out these Billy Gibbons approved pickups at SeymourDuncan.com
