Sooo...PG+ vs. 59? What's the diff?

[korovamilkdud]

I've heard it many times...the Pearly Gates plus is very similar to the 59, BUT NOT THE SAME.

Okay, fine. So sonically, what's the difference? Sure I may be able to answer this question myself when I get my PGn, but screw it, I'm impatient. Sue me. :13:

Besides, I'd like to know what differences to look for. That would be helpful.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, the PG is a pickup with asymetrical coils, while the 59 has symetrical coils. Asymetrical coils (one coil wound slightly hotter than the other) usually gives more clarity and air to a 'bucker.
