FS/FT: Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbucker set (cream/black zebra)

[FuelGTRX]

I have a set of Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbucker set up for sale. They are in good shape with almost all original wiring length. They were installed once in my Blacktop Tele (pictured below). Comes with original boxes and box candy.

$60 shipped each

Shipping included only for US lower 48. I will ship outside of that for an extra charge.

The only trade I would be interested in would be for Gretsch Filter'tron pickups in chrome.

Sorry to bomb your thread, but how do you like that tele?

I love it! Probably the best neck I have seen on a mid priced MIM Fender. Closer in quality to the high end MIM Fenders. The stock pickups weren't too bad sounding. A little too dark and hot for my tastes, but they were pretty microphonic and squealed easily. Hardware is high quality. Electronics were a bit cheap but worked and seemed durable. The Blacktop series are an awesome bang-for-buck guitar.

I ended up gutting the electronics and putting in CTS 500K pots, Fender MIA 3-way switch, and new wiring. Right now, I have a set of GFS Surf 90's installed in it. Great twang and bite while still being full and punchy. Does anything from old school rockabilly to modern punk rock, while having a unique sound.

Sounds pretty sweet. I'm digging the silver one with the maple fretboard. I'm gonna have to find one

How do you think they sounded in the Tele? Is the Tele alder? I'm looking for something to put in a Squier VM Jag (2H).

I liked them a lot in this guitar. I only switched them out because I was aiming for a more traditional Tele tone. They were full and punchy in this guitar while still being clear and articulate and very versatile. I could do everything from blues to classic rock to punk rock to metal with the Pearly Gates set.

I forgot, the Tele in the picture is alder.
