Just got it - handmade in the Duncan Custom Shop. I'm going to put it in the bridge position of my Strat. If it sounds as good as this guy's, I'll be very happy! But first, I need to get a new pickguard made.

Why would it be a Custom Shop ?

Nickel PG's are standard production models.

Yeah but I like the pickups wound by MJ or Seymour. They just sound a little better to me. I have a MJ wound Custom Shop Jerry Donahue in my Tele and it definitely sounds a little more inspiring than the stock version.

Oh dear, that doesn't say much for your faith in their production staff.

Double the price for what must be an indistingushable difference.

And you state that you hope yours will sound as good as the production one in the clip :onder:

Why "must" there be "an indistingushable difference"? And how would you know if you've never compared for yourself?

You get what 'cha pay for. The standard assembly line Duncan's and Duncan PG's are first rate - but the custom shop versions of the PG, wound by MJ or Seymour, do sound one notch better.

If there wasn't a miniscule difference, it wouldn't be the same pickup.
Also that would imply the production line stuff is inferior.
I would put money on the fact that if they took a production one, stuck an MJ sticker on the bottom, you'd be convinced you hear a difference. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't want to take your money. But I wouldn't mind seeing you learn a little lesson either Mr. Know It All. ;)

You're not sure whether your Custom Shop Pearly Gates will sound as good as the production model?!

If you want it to sound as good as his, get a regular production Pearly, and you WILL "...be very happy".

I really was knocked out by the tone this guy is getting with a covered Pearly Gates in his Strat.

Hope mine sounds as good.
