Gibson P-498T BK

Start 360°

Pickup

The 498T is the hotter version of a vintage pickup with a higher internal resistance and higher power output. The 498T has an average sound character when compared with the 490T, and is therefore preferably used for the bridge position; especially when the player wants to generate warm and singing lead sounds. The 498T has a vintage Alnico magnet and is used by Gibson for Les Paul Studios, Les Paul Standards and Les Paul Custom guitars in the bridge position.

great pickup!

Anonymous 03.09.2016

I used as to replace a Gibson 490t, a more"vintage sound" pickup,
This is aggressive but great from blues to hard rock tones!
Perfect match with Gibson 490r.
Good also as split single coil.
everything perfect as always!

Gibson Humbuckers

Robert98 15.05.2013

I bought two of these, one covered and one open for a left handed replica of the Jimmy Page EDS1275 that I am making for a customer. They are exactly what I was looking for for that classic Gibson sound and at a great price here at Thomann.

Der Klassiker für die Brücke

BurkhardH 24.06.2012

ganz entgegen dem 490R ist der offene 498T sehr sauber verarbeitet. Ich habe ihm noch eine offene Nickelkappe angezogen und ihn dann meiner Epi-Paula an die Brücke montiert. Das hat sich mehr als gelohnt. Ganz

anders als viele Mitkonkurrenten filtert dieser PU an der Brückenposition nicht einfach nur die Höhen heraus, er nimmt einfach alles mit was kommt und schickt es an den Amp. Er kann sogar herrlich singen, wenn man die Töne in Obertöne umkippen läßt. Matscht nicht bei Akkorden und bringt sogar die Bässe feindefiniert rüber.

Man kann ihn bis knapp unter die Seiten hochschrauben, ohne daß er aufgibt und sich verschluckt.
Ich habe schon viele PUs, auch in Gibsons, angespielt, das ist der erste, mit dem mir das süßsüffige singende Spielen durch einen Bridge-PU richtig Spaß macht.

Im Overdrivebetrieb legt er richtig los, singt und qietscht vor Freude. In Kombination mit dem 490R ein absolutes Erlebnis. Und das zu dem günstigen Preis. War meine beste Idee, mich für diese beiden zu entscheiden.
