I’m on a ZZ Top trip lately, and so I decided to put “Pearly Gates” pickups into my PRS SE Bernie Marsden Les Paul Style guitar. For the uninitiated, “Pearly Gates” ist the nickname Billy F. Gibbons has given his apparently near-heavenly ’59 Les Paul. And some heavenly tones it does have, and a beautiful ‘burst maple cap, too. For my PRS, nothing can be done about the latter, but I tought I’d try to get a grittier Texas Blues tone with those pickups from Seymour Duncan. And it was a premiere for me soldering on one of my guitars. So, here goes:
The stage is set. Note the wiring diagram from the Seymour Duncan website on my laptop.
