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.
When Seymour Duncan first introduced the Signature Billy Gibbons Red Devil™ set, his fiery sound was captured in Strat®-sized humbucker pickups. Now, that hot Texas tone is available as a drop-in replacement bridge pickup for any Telecaster® wielding guitarist. Approved by Reverend Willie G himself, the Red Devil™ for Tele® is built with an Alnico 5 magnet, 4 conductor cable, and a hot wind that drives amps and pedals harder than a traditional vintage humbucker. Whether you’re looking for cutting leads, tight pinch harmonics, or thick rhythm tones, it’s all at your fingertips with the Red Devil™ for Tele®.
