Gibson 490R Original Humbucker Pickup

This modern Gibson classic features tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, delivering a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives this beauty a singing quality that delivers on demand. The 490R guitar pickup, with its neck-spaced pole pieces, is calibrated to perfectly match the bridge-spaced 490T (See recommended accessories box on this page). Sporting a classic gold cover, it comes with 4-conductor shielded wiring for seriesparallelsplit coil variations.
