Fully functional, I had them taken out by a professional guitar repair shop in Jacksonville to fund new Bareknuckle Silos. Light pick marks from normal play.

  • Standard Setup: The 490R/498T combination is standard for 2006 Studio models, providing a bright, powerful, and thick sound.
  • Alternative Pickups: While most used 490R/498T, some special or later 2006 models might feature Burstbucker Pros.
  • Characteristics: The 498T bridge is a high-output pickup designed for increased mids and bite, while the 490R neck offers a more traditional humbucker sound.
  • Components: These models were known for using traditional wiring and CTS parts during this era.
  • Variants: The 2006 Les Paul Studio Premium Plus also featured the same 490R/498T pickup set. Gibson Brands Forums +4
  • For many, this era is considered a "sweet spot" for Studio models, offering high-performance, wax-potted pickups standard. 

Thanks for looking!
