Hades Gates vs Pearly Gates Custom Shop

8.2->9.2 is a big jump. 8.9->9.2 noticeable but not a big difference.

as far as i know, no pg is hand guided. they are all machine wound, but by the actual machine from kalamazoo

But again, that isn't necessarily a jump in heat. But my ears are tempered to differences like PG to Distortion, not Seth/59/PG
 
Do you have a CS pickup?
Not anymore. I had one. It was great.

Mine was wound by MJ. But there's that "master crafstman" field for others to fill.

I have a handful of MJ-wound pickups. While I wouldn't bother putting one in a cheap guitar, they can literally transform a good guitar. Worth spending the $$ on something special to make it even special-er.
 
I went ahead and ordered a regular PG. I know I like it so I know what I’m getting with it.

I probably would have tried a Hades had there been one in a store near me. Oh well.
