    Re: Cleaning up Pearly Gates Plus bridge

    I don't know what bridge your friend has but I have a bridge humbucker on a teleish rig that I was able to make a noticeable difference in clarity by changing my brass 3 saddles out to 3 titanium saddles. It really cleaned the bridge sound up... very noticeably..
    I went from Rutters brass saddles (which I now have on a different T-partscaster that helped there) to a set of Gotoh In Tune Compensated Titanium Tele Guitar Saddles which I am using with a Rutters half bridge. It did make a difference.
    Best price I found for the In Tune compensated Ti saddles was at MojoTone.

      If the issue is simply one of output yes, just lower the pickup as suggested already.

      I too hate redialing for individual guitars. But the PG+ is not prohibitively hot unless his other guitars are extremely low-output. That said, the PG+ has a pretty aggressive character for its relatively moderate output, especially in a Fender-scale guitar.

        250K pot will NOT change the output in the way you are thinking

        Lower the height of the pickup relative to the strings or swap the magnet to a lower-output magnet as already suggested
