Classic versatile humbucker that prevents feedback at max volume.
Gibson answered this call with the introduction of the revolutionary 490T and 490R pickups ("T" for treble and "R" for rhythm), which have the traditional characteristics of the original Patent Applied For (PAF) pickups, but with two key modifications. First, a four-conductor wiring scheme allows the 490s to be connected to any push/pull knob, which lets players split the coils and increase versatility. Gibson also introduced wax potting, which does away with any air space, minimizing microphonic feedback.
This 490R "Modern Classic" is a humbucker with the tonal characteristics of an original Patent Applied For, with a slight increase in upper midrange response.
Features
- Position: Neck
- Magnet: Alnico 2
- Wiring: 4-conductor
- Cover: None
- Double black bobbins
- Wax potted
- Average DC Resistance: 8K
