As you may know, we rework & upgrade fine Les Paul guitars on a regular basis. Often we remove all the electronic “guts” out of various Les Paul so that we can install all of our Doyle Coils TRU-CLONES PAF parts, pickups, etc, etc. So if you are looking for some really great “drop in” upgrades for your project, then this entire kit if just what you need. We recently removed all of these pickups from a wonderful  2000 Les Paul Classic up on our bench. Now they’re here… and ready for you to install right into your guitar. Plenty of lead on these… that’s important! IF YOU WANT/NEED PICKUP COVERS... LET US KNOW, WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED : )

Standard Ad Verbiage from Gibson about these pups:

A Multi-ceramic Magnet Monster
Gibson USA 500T Super Ceramic pickup is hard rock in humbucker form! Boasting a multi-ceramic magnet structure, the 500T pumps out an ultra-high-output punch with singing sustain and unmatched definition. From shrieking leads to crunched-out rhythms, the 500T does it all. When testing it out, we even found that it’s surprisingly adept at dishing out crystal-clear cleans — a by-product of the 500T’s crisp string-to-string articulation. If you’re hunting for a humbucker that effortlessly covers hard-rock and metal territory without compromising on cleans, then the Gibson Accessories 500T should be at the top of your list.

Push Your Output to the Limit!
Looking for a neck pickup with a clear, cutting tone? The Gibson USA 496R Hot Ceramic neck humbucker pickup’s high-output ceramic construction delivers on clear note-to-note definition, making it one of Sweetwater’s top picks for high-gain applications. No matter how low your tuning or strings go, the 496R keeps everything neat and clear, without even a hint of muddiness. Plus, its an excellent choice for driving a hot tube amp into the sweet spot, and their ultra-high output allows for sweet, singing lead tones with seemingly never-ending sustain.
