Seymour Duncan's venerable Pearly Gates humbucker was originally conceived to conjure tones similar to the pickups found in the legendary 1959 Les Paul Standard (the axe that set the standard for blues guitar tone). If you Tele twangers were feeling left out, Sweetwater has good news - the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop has created a Pearly Gates model for the bridge position of the Telecaster. Sweet and somewhat rude, the Custom Shop Pearly Gates Tele features an Alnico II bar magnet, bringing your amp to life with the perfect blend of sustain and harmonics, not to mention a nice, bright top end. The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Pearly Gates Tele retains the Telecaster's native twang and bite, but delivers the grunt you need for styles ranging from country to hard rock.
