Billy Gibbon’s passion for heat has led to the The Hades Gates™ humbucker set – a searing variation on Billy’s celebrated midrange-forward, punchy tone. The Hades Gates™ humbucker set is available now on Seymour Duncan’s website: https://www.seymourduncan.com/single-product/hades-gates
From scorching lead guitar to his own line of hot sauces, Billy Gibbons has never been afraid of a little extra heat. The Pearly Gates™ pickup set from his coveted 1959 Les Paul® has been a favorite among P.A.F. purists for decades. For the Reverend, some guitars in his collection benefited from additional output to deliver his signature sound.
This demand for a hotter wind forged The Hades Gates™ humbucker set – a fiery take on the mid-forward, punchy sound Billy is known for. Alnico 2 magnets and this added output drive your amp into some hot, blue, and righteous territory.
Hades Gates™ Humbuckers are hand built in Santa Barbara, California with 4-conductor cable and short mounting legs.

More secret sauce from the Rev!
It's all in the soul of the hands the instruments are in, no offense, but yea…..
Nice …
Respect to Billy for his tenure and contributions. That said, ZZ is one of the most disappointing live acts I'v ever witnessed.
DCR 4K & 4.4K? Must be some kind of unusual magnet wire to make them hotter than the Pearly Gates set.
I wonder how close these are to the wonderful Pearly Gates Plus they used to pop in the Lonestar Strat.
Just use PAFs .
they had to come out the the Hades Gates months after I install the Pearly Gates lol although the Pearly are fucking fantastic
does it djent tho
That makes about 10 different Gibbons signature pickups out there in the wild. That being said I love his music. Nobody sounds like Billy no matter what pickups you use.
That is set of 7s if I ever heard one! Ha!
I have a set of Duncan Custom shop MJ wound unpotted Pearly Gates in a Les Paul goldtop and they are amazing. I still don't sound like Billy (my fault) but I love that guitar much more with them pickups.
tone is in the hands, these do not sound any better than classic 57s
I put a set of Pearly Gates on my 2020 Les Paul Standard 60s about a week after I bought it. The best sounding guitar I have ever played.
I love Pearly Gates and not really getting what makes these different
Oh boy another set I gotta get. I have a pearly gates set in my LP standard and a Pearly gates bridge in my Esquire, now I need these. Have mercy!
fucking cool
SOLD GAVE ME FIVe and FEW BUCKS!
Waiting for Glen Fricker and his crew to jump in and try to tell Billy and Seymour that pickups don’t matter.
Greatest part of this post? Billy gets to play all the greatest riffs in history and they don't need to worry about a copyright strike because HE WROTE THEM! 😏👑🎵🎶
Angela's Dad is selling pickups? Jk jk
Seymour Duncan makes OUTSTANDING Pick Ups. You CAN’T go wrong with them.
Iconic tone and Guitar Player 🎸
I have a Pearly Gates in my Les Paul standard and love it!!
Pearly Gates is one of my favorite pickups. I’m curious to try these!
hair…luffy gear 5…sun god nika
I don't often switch pickups in my guitars, but when I do, I switch them to what Billy Gibbons uses.
Another cash grab. An overwound version? Just use a little more gain or use a boost.
Can Ya Dig it
Ramiro Course
So they sort of did the Slash 2.0 treatment i.e. a little hotter but same ballpark tone? I’m intrigued. I’ve had a Pearly Gates in the bridge of my hss strat for the past year and it’s absolutely fantastic.

Without any pick-ups Billy sounds like Billy! ♨️
Every salesman should be so persuasive
How do these compare to the Slash 2.0?
A legend
I’ve bought a few Pearlys in my day,And I’m taking them to my grave
