Re: Pearly Gates plus
The pg+ is a standard spaced pg bridge with just a small overwind and an A5 magnet.
You can find them new on eBay or the stratosphere may have some.
Otherwise get a pearly gates bridge and switch to an A5 magnet, it will be very close.

It will probably work fine. The PG+ does, and it's not terribly different than the WLH. The difference in tone between 250K and 500K is not huge anyhow. But you could switch over to 500K pots. It won't have a dramatic effect on the single coils, it will make it so your humbucker has a bit more zing, and you can always slightly roll down the neck and middle tone pots if the single coils are too trebly with the 500Ks. Reducing excessive treble is easy. Adding it when it is not there to begin with is impossible.

Re: Pearly Gates plus
Great info already...I had a PG+ in one of my strats and it was a pretty bright pickup...I actually ended up liking it more with the 250k pots,though this worked because the middle and neck were still single coils...I remember going with a larger tone cap in that setup...Not .022 but like .047

Re: Pearly Gates plus
You could do what I've done in ny Strat if you want to go for the WLH.
250k tone pot on neck single, none on mid, 500k tone pot on bridge.
250k master volume.
No tone on mid increases the in between position quack.
It was suggested to me, I tried it and love it.

The PG+ isn't trem spaced.
Never made sense to me.
