Overview
This 490T "Modern Classic" features tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic with a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives this beauty a singing quality that delivers on demand. The 490R (sold separately), with its neck-spaced pole pieces, is calibrated to match the bridge-spaced 490T for a perfect match. Available with chrome, gold, or nickel covers, or with open coils, both the 490R and 490T come with 4-conductor shielded wiring for series/parallel/split coil variations. NOTE: Factory-installed 490R and 490T pickups have 2-conductor wiring.

For classic tone you need a classic pickup. Order today.
