The adage “everything’s bigger in Texas” is especially true of Billy Gibbons’ distinct style of rowdy blues rock. The ZZ Top front man’s tone now gets its due with signature Hades Gates pickups from Seymour Duncan! Available as singles or sets, these vintage-inspired Hades Gates humbuckers are handbuilt in California. Hades Gates pickups began with Billy’s affinity for Seymour Duncan’s Pearly Gates, an incredibly accurate player-approved reproduction of 1959 PAF humbuckers. Pearly Gates pickups provide sweet output and a slight attitude, whereas Hades Gates pickups issue a Texas-tinged alternative: fiery attitude laced with harmonic heat that’s earned a blessing from the Reverend himself. The Hades Gates has a soulful vintage-tinged sound that hits hot before melting into the vintage patina of Alnico II magnets; those who crave PAF clarity and more power for driving amps to the brink are sure to get a kick out of the bridge pickup’s sizzling highs and percussive midrange thump. Hades Gates pickups feature 4-conductor cable and short mounting legs for easy installation on most Les Paul-style guitars. Put some Texas-inspired power back in your blues-rock playing by upgrading your axe with Hades Gates pickups!
