    Default Pearly Gates w/ double White bobbins?

    Anyway to get some of these? I've seen a Seth Lover with double white bobbins and am wondering if I could possibly find some PGs that were the same?

    White bobbins are a production color, and if a SD dealer doesn't stock them they should be able to order them at no extra charge.

    There is also the PG+ model, which is actually parchment color (off white) and used in a number of Fender strats. If you see a white PG for sale, it's probably this model.

    Also, are you talking about creme color? Seths are often double creme, but I've never seen one in white.

    Any Duncan can be ordered with double creme bobbins if you are willing to throw down the extra 15 or so dollars to get a cover. Under a cover is the only way you can get them due to Dimarazio's Double Creme Trademark.

    i see. i didn't realize it used an a5 in it. also, i figured that it was double cream, but i never really paid attention. i've only played a guitar with that pickup a few times at guitar center.

    It's a cool pup to be sure, a few guys REALLY dig it, but to me it seems like a more aggressive 59 than a regular PG.
