Pearly Gates Bridge Pickup Height

Hey everyone just installed the set in my lester.

Pearly gates bridge pickup height.

Can anyone recommend the optimal pickup height for that pickup or have any other setup tips he might try. My friend has a special edition telecaster fmt hh with a pearly gates plus in the bridge. But the wizards at seymour duncan have cloned the pickups. I found the stock neck pickup too muddy for my taste.

The measure string to top of pickup. At 11 4k in the bridge and 9 8k in the neck middle these are the perfect pickups for true grit. In the middle paired with the more moderate output little 59 in the neck and a more moderate output pearly gates trembucker in the bridge this can be a great pickup blend especially if you like playing lead lines on the middle pickup. The website says 3 32.

Whats the rule of thumb when setting height. Gibson even used them on their pearly gates replica but will adding a set to your les paul clone make you sound like a million dollars. In other forums it s been suggested he might try a 250k pot for example. Should the adjustment be done with the amps set clean.

Thanks to the seymour duncan company for sending me this set to demo. Michael casswell finds out. The pearly gates bridge is available in both standard humbucker and trembucker spacing. A short demo of seymour duncan pearly gates pickup set in my 2002 gibson les paul classic.

Finally swapped out my stock gibson les paul standard 2013 burstbuckers pro for sd pearly gates. While this combination might not be the most common particularly the higher output jb jr. Devised to deliver alnico tone in a small package the pearly gates for strat has two slightly overwound coils hugging an alnico ii magnet for raunchy hard rock and blues. He s having trouble cleaning it up it appears too hot for the tones he s trying to get.
