Living near Nashville has its perks. We’re not far from the Gibson factory and Custom Shop (about 25 mins), which means I frequently see boxes of authentic Gibson parts walk through the door. A lot of people who work at Gibson live in my county, and thus, I have a lot of regulars that either work for, or have worked for Gibson. A recent haul included several samples, templates, and new old stock parts from the 1950s through the 1990s.

Here for sale is a set of Gibson 498T and 490R pickups. Basically brand new. The DC readout for the 490R is 7.80K and for the 498T is 14.10K.

It comes from a customer of mine what works at Gibson; his wife is making him clean out the closet (I can't blame her) and he has been selling his parts stash off to me.

Meter readings - 498T - 1410k / 490R - 7.80k
