Developed by Master Luthier Jim DeCola and based on his groundbreaking pickup designs for legendary Kramer artists, the Kramer Eruption is a high-output humbucker pickup with all of the Made to Rock Hard tone and attitude you expect from Kramer.

"It's really a Gibson 498t with short legs"

My favorite bridge pup is the Gibson 498t but I play a Fender player II tele with Humbuckers. The stock pups sound really good but I fing Alnico II at the bridge a bit Anemic. The 498t has long legs and I wasn't sure it would fit. It's AlnicoV with the DC resistance at about 14.8k I looked around quite a bit and it turns out this Kramer (Gibson) is Alnico V with the DC resistance at 15k and short legs. We'll hot damn. Price is right and I ordered it in Zebra bobbins. Just because I love that look. I also dont like to cover the lugs because they do pick up a little. When it arrived I wired her right in and boy howdy did I make the right call. I'll tell you what, this pickups bass response is firm and not overpowering. She's hot but still with PAF warmth. It's a really good choice for the bridge. I'm putting a Zebra bobbins Pearly Gates in the neck next. Every bit as good as the 498t. I'm very happy with the purchase.
