On the Pearly Gates pickup... The Shannon Soloists have that pickup in the bridge from the factory. Its a pretty weak sounding pickup for a bridge position. I have two Shannon Soloists, one which is stock (Slime Green) and the other in Blue Ghost Flames which has a Dimarzio Super 2 in place of the original Pearly Gates. I've used the Pearly Gates in the neck position in my other guitars and its fine there. But for a bridge position its weak IMO.

I appreciate your suggestion regarding the Pearl Gates...It's kind of hard to tell in a semi-hollow guitar. I guess I'll keep it there. For some reason I remember someone saying it was supposed to be pretty hot...but that's not my experience with it. Matter of fact, I'm even considering moving the 59 to the bridge and the PG to the neck...but here, once again, I've never put a 59 in the bridge...so I'm not sure if the results would be of any significant difference.
