Seymour Duncan SH-5 + Pearly Gates Neck
All or most of my electric guitar career I used Seymour Duncan JB bridge paired with a jazz neck. I love that pickup combo as it's a pretty diverse combo. Last year I installed the Duncan SH-5 paired with the Pearly Gates neck in a Godin Montreal guitar as I thought the JB would've been a little to hot for a semi. The more I play that guitar the more I like that pickup combo. It's also very diverse and they go so well together that they should be sold as a set IMO. I just felt like sharing this info with anyone interested. It's kinda nice when experimentation works out well. I still love the JB/Jazz combo, but I think I prefer the SH-5/Pearly Gates combo more these days.

It sounds like a great set. For those who don't know, the SH-5 is the "Custom". I have the SH-11 "Custom Custom" bridge and the Pearly Gates in my frankenstrat build. I really want to try that in a Les Paul.
I think the only difference between the SH-5 and SH-11 is the magnet; ceramic vs A2. |

The '59 is a great pickup. Can handle overdrive really well.

Absolutely. There's so many good pickups out there to choose from that you can almost go insane trying to decide.

I have a 1971 Univox Les Paul copy that I had the electronics gutted about 20 years ago.
It has a Duncan Pearly Gates bridge and Duncan Jazz Neck in it now. An absolute killer combination. The Pearly Gates is a medium gain beauty and the Jazz Neck is smooth and clean. I still get a kick out of how good this old beater sounds. Seymour Duncan makes great pick ups that truly stand the test of time.
