Hades Gates was born from the demand for a hotter-wound version of our iconic Pearly Gates pickups. This signature humbucker pickup set from Billy Gibbons unleashes a fiery take on the mid-forward, punchy sound Billy is known for.

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.
