Pearly Gates and Custom Custom in SG

[jonnymangia]

I've decided to replace the Phat Cat neck in my SG Standard with the Pearly. I want a vintage PAF sound that snarls and judging by the clips that's a PG.
You guys think it will work well with the Custom Custom bridge?

BTW - if anyone wants to trade a PG neck for my Phat Cat, let's do it.

Re: Pearly Gates and Custom Custom in SG

do you hear a difference between the '59 and Pearly Gates in the neck? The sound clips seem identical.

Re: Pearly Gates and Custom Custom in SG

well, i had extensive use on the PG neck, and now i have a lil 59 neck, which i assume (and read) is very similar to a 59 neck........ there is a definitive difference......the lil 59 has a big and clear low end, clear mids, and clear glassy highs..... the PG was warmer, less bass, more mids, and aggresive upper mids/highs.....and seems more aggressive overall..... the PG seemed like a great neck pickup for Allman Brothers tones, sweet and warm with some kick

Re: Pearly Gates and Custom Custom in SG

I have pearly gates neck with custom bridge in my explorer and they sound great.. custom custom comes from the same family with custom.. and SG is a mahagony set-neck guitar just like my gibson explorer.. i think they would fit great together..
