Seymour Duncan - HD-N-S Hades Gates Set Nickel

The HD-N-S Hades Gates Set Nickel is a complete set of passive humbuckers designed for those who want to capture the unique sound of Billy Gibbons. Comprising a neck pickup and a bridge pickup, it brings your riffs and solos to life with a perfect balance of warmth and punch. Whether you're playing blues-rock grooves or more incisive hard rock passages, every note comes through with clarity and character.

Alnico II magnets deliver a rich, musical sound, with enough sustain to give your phrases depth without overpowering the rest of the mix. The neck pickup produces smooth, enveloping bass, while the bridge pickup brings out the midrange for effortless soloing.

Thanks to the 4-conductor wiring, you can experiment with configurations such as coil-split or series/parallel, moving from a warm vintage sound to more incisive tones. This gives you the flexibility to adapt to your style and the mood of your track.

Compared with other humbuckers, this set stands out for its ability to faithfully follow your touch. Every note remains precise, every riff gains in dynamics, and your solos take on their full expressivity, for more nuanced, lively playing.
