Humbucker 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 T version of the P490 has slightly more output power than the T, and is thus ideally suited for the bridge position.
Wonderful bell-like sounds without sludge - the P490 is not a screamer; he sings beauitufully! Comes in chrome-plated cap.
