These Modern Classic pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives these beauties a singing quality that delivers on demand. |

This "Modern Classic" features tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic with 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 (See recommended accessories box on this page), with its neck-spaced pole pieces, is calibrated to match the bridge-spaced 490T for a perfect match. Available with chrome, gold, or nickel covers, or with open coils, the 490R and 490T come with 4-conductor shielded wiring for series/parallel/split coil variations. NOTE: Factory-installed 490R and 490T pickups have 2-conductor wiring. |

I just got my Gibson Les Paul Custom equipped with a 490 Alnico (R) and 498 Alnico (T)humbucking pickups 4 months ago and let me tell you something...this guitar rocks. Jimmy Page used to play Stairway to Heaven live with these pickups. If it's good enough for Jimmy, it's good enough for me. However, if your style is more heavy, it won't be bad, but instead, I recommend a good EMG-81 just like Zakk Wylde.
Overall, if your looking for an authentic 1970 rock sound, this is one of them.
