All right, I've had a few minutes to put these pickups through their paces. What more can I say about the Distortion? It's my absolute favorite pickup, especially for the bridge position. It has just the right amount of aggression mixed with tons of versatility. The lows are tight, the mids are perfect, and the highs don't make my ears bleed.
The Pearly Gates is new to me. It just might become my favorite neck pickup. Man this thing rips! It can do shred metal leads as well as a Distortion. It can also handle the Texas blues as it was designed to do. The cleans sparkle like I've never heard before (better than the 59s in my Hamer Artist Korina). The mids are absolutely perfect for the neck position and it doesn't get muddy at the bottom.
Now, together these pickups might not seem a likely match. But let me tell you that they work together as well as any matched set I've come across. Granted, I never use the middle position on the 3 way toggle. But switching between the neck and bridge pickups, there is no volume difference and the tones compliment each other extremely well.
