Description
Seymour Duncan TB-PG1b Pearly Gates Trembucker Black Pickup
The TB-PG1b Pearly Gates Trembucker captures the classic warmth and articulation that established the original Pearly Gates as a recording favorite. Built with Alnico II magnets and vacuum wax potting, this bridge pickup produces clear, singing tones with natural compression and responsive dynamics that sit naturally in the mix while maintaining vintage character. The F-spaced design accommodates modern tremolo bridges and post-1999 Gibson instruments seamlessly for straightforward installation and retrofits.
Tone & Recording Character
Rated at 8.8K DCR with a vintage output profile, this pickup maintains clarity and sustain across all frequencies for balanced tracking and mixing. The Alnico II magnet delivers a smooth, organic response that excels in classic rock, blues, and vintage-voiced sessions without introducing harsh treble or muddy lows that complicate mix balance.
Construction & Wiring Flexibility
Vacuum wax potted construction eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures long-term reliability in the studio, while the nickel silver bottom plate provides electromagnetic shielding and contributes to the pickup's tonal character. The included four-conductor hookup cable enables series, parallel, and split-coil wiring options for adapting tone within a single session or production context.
