What players and reviewers say

On the Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates (SHPG-1)

“To me they cover a lot of the same ground, but the BB3 seems less shrill in the high end.”

“I believe the highs may be a bit more pronounced on the '59 as the mids are cut a bit, and the Pearly GAtes (as far as I know) has a bit more upper mids..”
