zZounds Gear Experts Say...
This aggressively hot neck pickup with bluesy edge gives you more highs, power, and sustain. It pairs wonderfully with the 500T in the bridge position.

When you want a smokin' neck pickup with incredible sustain and cutting power, try the 496R "Hot Ceramic." 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.

Magnet material: ceramic

Potting: wax
