Pickup

Gibson counts the P490 pickups as modern classics, and that is also a great sound description for this well-known part of many modern Gibson guitars. The starting point was the legendary PAF (now available as Classic 57); this one has a bit more upper middle to make it more powerful. Still, with the Alnico 2 magnet, the typical singing sound is always guaranteed. The R version of the P490 has slightly less output power than the T, and is thus ideally suited for the neck position. Wonderful bell-like sounds without sludge - the P490 is not a screamer, but he sings all the more beautiful!

A nice neck humbucker
Roger N. 22.11.2013
I bought this microphone as an alternative to the Seymour Duncans and Toneriders I normally use on my guitars. It was a pleasant surprise, nice clean tones with plenty of volume. Well worth the money and I will use it on other guitars in the future.

Perfect Gibson neck pickup
Rolf2079 26.04.2021
Installed in a Japanese Les Paul (neck position), the pickup has that typical Gibson bluesy/jazzy warmth as hoped for, and with a nice top end. Plenty of output, I set the height lower to balance with a 498T in the bridge. I have a 90's Gibson LP studio and compared the two neck sounds - very similar with just a little more top end clarity on the new pickup. The 4 conductor wiring with a push pull pot switches to single coil for chords or picked stuff, or even just for reducing level while keeping the clarity - you could do series/parallel or out of phase too if you like. I installed a cover, (49mm pole spacing) , which was easy and still has the output and treble. To summarise, a great juicy vintage sounding neck pickup with all the wiring options, thanks.

A decent Gibson neck
ZeeKay 21.08.2023
I keep replacing the 490R / 498T pair in my guitars with Duncans , Dimarzios, etc. and somehow I kept going back to them and restored the original setting . Somehow this works , has the bite and the clarity , the weight and the chime. Clean and distorted . No for shredding perhaps but very much of rock.
