"Married to my Gibson LP Standard."

Feature:
Pickups are 490R neck & 498T Bridge end great, bridge nice, tone & volume controls great. I had trouble with the switch cut out on treble, but sorted now. machine heads a let down went out of tune & some of the heads bent, changed machines to shaeller with lock nuts.

Quality:
Shame about the vintage klusons & the switch. I have a reliable guitar now.

Desirability:
A Gibson LP always has the X factor.

Sound:
This product has never let me down. The sound quality is amazing, from warm & clean to downright loud n dirty, the pickups in my guitar sustain for ages. I use Marshall equipment, which they're full of grunt anyway. I'm using a JCM 800 KK Sigature amp & Marshall quad 4X12 celestians angled bin.

Support:
Warranty ran out when I got problems, I didn't contact the company as friends & a relative build guitars serviced my guitar. Happy end of story.

Overall:
I've had this guitar for 22 years. Probably be buried with me. I've thought about selling it & changed my mind at the last minute.

About This Product!
Description
News
These "Modern Classic" pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives these beauties a singing quality that delivers on demand.

The 490R, with its neck-spaced pole pieces, is calibrated to match the bridge-spaced 490T for a perfect match. Available with chrome, gold, or nickel covers, or with open coils, the 490R and 490T come with 4-conductor shielded wiring.
