Thanks for the complements guys. In regard to the Pearly Gates, love the neck humbucker.... it just sings. I’m less satisfied with the bridge humbucker, which almost sounds thin and with a lack of definition on the bass strings. It’s great for Texan/blues rock, nothing beats it, but it seems like a one-trick pony. With more gain and distortion, it sounds a bit shrill with lots of high end, but that might be due to the Alnico 2 magnet. I’m about to swap that for an A8, so let’s see how that goes. But by all means, a great set... the bridge not for me though... maybe better in a les Paul.
