What bridge to go with Pearly Gates neck?

[ArtieToo]

I didn't want to hijack the PGn thread, but clearly, a lot of people, (including myself), love the PGn. So . . . what do you like to pair with it in a dual humbucker axe?

Personally, I simply like the PG set. I don't think I've tried my Pearly's with anything else.

[Mincer]

I like it with the 59/Custom Hybrid for any rock. Regular Custom for heavier stuff.

[Dudeman7]

Custom Custom pairs well with the Pearly Gates too.

[Securb]

I have mine paired with the P-Rails. The P-Rails is too hot for a lot of people in the humbucking mode but it serves my purposes.

I'll have to experiment a bit. I have a CC laying around here somewhere.

[Benjy_26]

I like it with the Custom, CC, Screamin Demon, PG+, PGb, and S Deco V.

[EmiAba]

I have it paired with a C8 in a les paul standard. One of my favorite combo

That's a Custom, with an A8 magnet?

For me, a PGn is like a quintessential PAF neck. So anything that goes with a PAF neck goes with a PGn. I've tried the following bridges (all work well):

Jazz
Pearly
T-Deco
Brobucker
59/UOA5

Ones I also suspect would work well
Seth
Antiquity
Skinnerburst
Magellan / Queenbucker
Whole Lotta Humbucker
Custom / Custom 5 / Custom Custom
JB/A2
StagMag
Bare Knuckle Black Dog
T-Top (and clones), 59n in the bridge, Jazz neck with short A5 in the bridge
I think even a 500T or Distortion would work fine with it

Interesting. This thread may not have been necessary. Apparently, the PGn goes with everything.

i find it goes well with most things. im running one with an antiquity bridge and its a good match

[ArtieToo]

I wonder if anyone has found a bridge that the PGn didn't work well with?

For me, really hot bridges, super thin bright bridges, or ones with a particular nasty spike of one frequency, like:

JB (A5)
Screamin Demon
Full Shred
Super 3

I previously noted 500T/Distortion would work because when I tried them, adjusting pickup heights and/or rolling the volume got them to match up, and I had that extra 7-10 on the knob for leads.

YMMV. They all might work for you in the right guitar. I was using an all-mahogany SG and a weight relieved LP Studio when I was rolling bridges.

ive matched a jb with a pgn in a tele and was pretty happy with it actually

[ArtieToo]

YMMV. They all might work for you in the right guitar.

Just to be clear, I was only asking this question because I thought it might be an interesting contrast, or supplement, to the the other PGn thread. I have a set of PG's in my all mahogany, (maple capped), Cort CL-1000, which I love.

But the info is still good to know.
