The Gibson 498T "Hot Alnico" Bridge Humbucker is built for players who want more bite and output from their bridge pickup. Based on the 490T but cranked up with an Alnico 5 magnet and extra coil windings, this pickup brings out a focused upper midrange that's tailor-made for hard rock and high-gain styles. If you're after tight crunch and a lead tone that cuts through the mix with sustain and sizzle, the 498T is a reliable go-to.
It's also built with practical performance in mind, four-conductor wiring gives you flexibility for coil-splitting or series/parallel options, and the wider pole spacing ensures even response across the strings at the bridge. It's fully wax potted too, so you don't have to worry about squeals or feedback on loud stages. They're a solid upgrade for someone looking for a more modern, hotter take on that classic PAF sound.
