You'll be amazed how the high-output ceramic magnet adds more highs with increased definition and no muddiness. Available with double black or black/creme (zebra) open coils, the 496R comes with four conductor shielded wiring for series/parallel/split coil variations.

NOTE: Factory-installed 496R pickups have two-conductor wiring.
