From scorching lead guitar to his own line of hot sauces, Billy Gibbons has never been afraid of a little extra heat. The Pearly Gates™ pickup set from his coveted 1959 Les Paul® has been a favorite among P.A.F. purists for decades. For the Reverend, some guitars in his collection benefited from additional output to deliver his signature sound.

This demand for a hotter wind forged The Hades Gates™ humbucker set – a fiery take on the mid-forward, punchy sound Billy is known for. Alnico 2 magnets and this added output drive your amp into some hot, blue, and righteous territory.

Hades Gates™ Humbuckers are hand built in Santa Barbara, California with 4-conductor cable and short mounting legs.

Available in Nickel, Gold, Black, or Raw Nickel with Gold Mesh covers, and also offered uncovered in Zebra, Reverse Zebra, White, Black, and Eliminator Red!

I think those look great, but I wouldn't have thought the target demographic of PAF-style pickups would be too much into colorful red covers.

I would love to see a full shot of how that Epiphone in the pic looks. I think they'd be kinda hard to fit into the looks of a traditional guitar to. But they might look great in one of those Gary Holt sigs in case you wanted it to look Metal, but to sound vintage-y hot.

I think that would look cool on a Buckethead sig LP

Thing is, stuff like colors start in a signature pickup and then eventually become a standard option at some point.

Me want flat black in that case.

I think that would look cool on a Buckethead sig LP

Or a John 5 Tele

You can order them like that! I ordered a Seth Lover set in flat black.

Just in time for Christmas...

Very juicy, a JB8 / 59 set with black screws would be very tempting.

And this is why I play hard rock on my pre-hades 9k Pearly Gates. Have Mercy!
