Neck humbucker for Pearly Gates bridge

[Flores_68]

I've just swapped the bridge pickup on my '99 Gibson Explorer: a 500t for a SD Pearly Gates. I'm really happy with the warmer tone I have. Step 2 is to swap the neck pickup which is currently the 498r. Should I get another PG or would the jazz perform well for a clean but warm sound on the neck?

The PG neck is a wonderful match to the PG bridge and "clean but warm" describes it well!

The PG will be warmer than the Jazz, indeed.

Thanks for the tips! That's also kind of what I was hoping to hear.

yeah - why NOT a Pg neck is the question. PG neck is almost always a good answer.

Either a Seth Lover, or A2P neck unit.

Would a PGn and PGb work properly together in a 1VOL/1TONE Guitar?

Yes. They are balanced when together at the same volume level and set to appropriate heights (for example, using stock Gibson height settings, they are balanced IME).

Absolutely. Many people do this.
