Gibson 490R Humbucker Pickup
No longer available at zZounds
Get vintage humbucking tone with the modern twist of increased upper mids. This pickup features open coils and 4-conductor shielded wiring.
Overview
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.

I had a set of Seymour Duncan humbuckers, the standard mix of JB in bridge position, the Jazz in the neck, and wanted to hear what they can do in a USA Les Paul. Great pups but they couldn't beat out the stck 490T and 490R set. I love these, no way to duplicate those classic rock tones w/o them...AC/DC to Page to ZZ Top, you neeed these Gibson's!
