Product Description
Gibson
Increased midrange with extra high-end crunch along with vintage warmth and sustain. The 498T can deliver a solo that will cut through the mix without sacrificing any fullness. Equipped with a 4-conductor lead cable.
Product Overview and Specifications
498T Hot Alnico


Put a slightly hotter Alnico V magnet into a specially wound coil combination, and you get the 498T "Hot Alnico." With its higher output and emphasis on mid-ranges and highs, the 498T is the perfect rock pickup. Available with chrome, gold or nickel covers, or open coils, the 498T comes with four conductor shielded wiring.

I mounted this pickup on a Epiphone which I bought as my 2nd guitar but it sounded a little poor for my tastes. I have to say the 498t have a nice crispy sound and a killer sustain. Playing with the tone controls you can obtain a very wide choice of sounds. If you need a hot bridge pickup, and you're not looking for a terrific metal tone, this is the one for you.
