Gibson 490T Modern Classic Humbucker Bridge Double Black
Based on the original “Patent Applied For” pickups that started the humbucker legend, the 490T is the perfect upgrade for any guitar looking for a bit more push and a little more edge. Four-conductor wiring allows for split coil setups, and Gibson’s wax potting construction eliminates any air space, reducing microphonic feedback. The 490T has the same tonal characteristics of an original PAF, with a slight boost in the upper-mid range response. The matching 490R Neck pickup is calibrated as such, except with pole pieces aligned slightly closer together to accommodate the spacing of strings at the neck.
