Pair of authentic USA Gibson Humbucker Pickups. Gold

490r neck and 498t bridge AlNiCo

Up for auction is a calibrated pair of genuine Gibson gold pickups.

Specs

490r - 8.15 k ohm

498t - 12.20 k ohm

These pickups were removed from a Gibson Les Paul Studio and are typically found in Gibson Les Paul and Gibson SG models.

The 490r pickup is the standard Gibson neck offering smooth, crunchy and mellow.

The 498t pickup is the standard Gibson bridge offering good attack, crunchy tonal sledge-hammer, woody.

Each AlNiCo pickup has the genuine Gibson stamp on the back. Cosmetically these are 8.5/10 with light surface scratching (if you look closely)

I had them installed in my Fender Stratocaster for a while and the sound was pristine. Woody and earthy. Unique!

Will not disappoint for those in search of tone.
