Gibson USA 490R and 490T Humbucker Pickups (from Les Paul Faded 2018 T)

Original stock pickups from a Gibson Les Paul Faded 2018 T. Inspired by Gibson’s original PAF pickups.

A 490R for the neck and a 490T for the bridge.

In excellent condition. Clean and pristine (I gave 'em a good wipe).

Perfect for a guitarist that wants to elevate the tone of a project, Epiphone, low-end Gibson, or any other Les Paul-inspired guitar.

Comes with secure packaging (as shown in photo) from the box I got with my Seymour Duncan Invader Humbucker Set. Also comes with Duncan's wiring diagram.

A note from Sweetwater’s website: "English guitarists of the 1960s were looking for a more aggressive sound to push their modern brand of blues, rock, and soul. Gibson responded with its 490 pickup set. These had more bite than Gibson's PAF ("Patent Applied For") pickups of the 1950s. The reissue 490T and 490R pay tribute to this turning point in rock history. Their voice is smooth and clearly vintage-inspired, yet to our ears has more high-end cut and midrange chutzpah than vintage pickups. They're also wax potted to reduce microphonic feedback, which is a big win with high-gain amp pairings."
