    Anyone else like an Alnico 4 magnet in a Pearly Gates for a Strat bridge?

    I've had a PG in a strat copy for a few years now and while I always liked it there did always seem to be something missing.

    I tried it with a few different magnets with no joy and the last option I had available was to try it with an A4. I didn't think it would do what I needed, but so far I'm quite happy with it and reckon it will be staying there.

    The PG has more treble than I would typically go for and the mids seem to be more upper mids and I suspect what I am after is more of the lower mids.

    Recently I notice that I seem to be gravitating towards A4 pickups in general for humbuckers at any rate.

    I haven’t ever played a pearly gates, but I’m with you. I have two pickup sets with A4 mags and love them both. Saturday night specials in an SG, and Mojotone 59 clones in a dot.
    I have a pair of alnico 4 magnets now that I’m thinking of trying a swap into Duncan 59s to see what that’ll do.
