  • @WCOFF3219 If I took the time to take off the cover of the pickup I could show you that it says Pearly Gates on the back but im not going to waste my time to do that so ya.

  • Thanks a good 70 bucks spent on this pickup rather than $700 on an actual Gibson.

  • Yea this is a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickup and i bought it from a company. I bought it because I knew it would sound just as good as a Gibson and im pretty sure that the guitar player from Led Zeppelin and AC/DC have that exact pickup in there guitar as well. Never had an Ibanez but it should sound pretty good. I even have a cheap 10 watt stagg amp and have a great Led Zeppelin and AC/DC type tone. Would be better if i had a bigger amp Marshal, that would bring out the pickup a lot.

  • @djaevulens lol mediocre....just lol

  • What people think sounds the best is personal, but lets face these bad boys have definitely improved this guys Stagg SG. I think they sound sweet

  • You should have probably tuned a bit.

  • would like to hear some clean tones, too...

  • @DavidKim1985 i just did. i took out the Burstbucker Pro in my LP Standard and put in a PG. Sounds Kick ASS for blues and Rock. next project is Jimmy Page wiring and then my goldtop is done. best $90 i have spent on music so far

  • This cannot be a pearly gates pickup it has it has a smooth cover more like the Tony Iommi. The Pearly Gates has pole piece screws on the cover whare as the Iommi does not. I have both pickups and they are both great.

  • @felderfan1 No indeed, Angus uses Gibson, and Page uses/used DiMarzio Superdistortions

  • @DavidKim1985

    I still think Gibson guitars are overrated. For instance I would prefer a Charvel instead of a Gibson at anytime. When you buy a Gibson you buy a mediocre guitar with a very expensive logo on it, cause it's the Gibson-logo that costs, not the guitar. Just like you buy Nike shoes, the Nike-logo is the expensive part, not the shoe itself.

    But then again, that's my opinion.
