    Soldering

    Fits the standard humbucker route the stock Lundgren pickups sit in. You will need to solder it in, this is not a solderless swap.

    Why we say this

    The Super Swede's Lundgren Design humbuckers are sold on the open market as direct replacements for standard Gibson-style humbucker routes, including owner reports of swapping them into Les Paul-family guitars, which confirms the route on this guitar is a standard humbucker size. The Pearly Gates uses the same standard mounting and should fit the same way.

    Soldering

    Fits the standard humbucker route the Custom 62 sits in. You will need to solder it in, this is not a solderless swap.

    Why we say this

    The Custom 62 is a standard-size humbucker in a standard route. A real owner listing for pickups pulled specifically from an Ultra Swede documents a direct swap to a Seymour Duncan set using the stock mounting rings and cavity wiring, and a separate Seymour Duncan forum thread shows an Ultra Swede owner actively planning the same kind of swap. The Pearly Gates uses the same standard mounting and should fit the same way.

    Likely drop-in
    Soldering

    Fits the standard humbucker route the HJ-50 sits in. You will need to solder it in, this is not a solderless swap.

    Why we say this

    The HJ-50 is a standard-size Gibson-style humbucker in a standard route. Real-world reports confirm owners installing Seymour Duncan humbuckers directly into Hagstrom HJ-50-equipped semi-hollows using the stock mounting rings and screws, consistent with a standard humbucker footprint. The Pearly Gates uses the same standard mounting and should fit the same way.
