These "Modern Classic" pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives these beauties a singing quality that delivers on demand.

The 490R, 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, the 490R and 490T come with four conductor shielded wiring for series/parallel/split coil variations.

NOTE: Factory-installed 490R and 490T pickups have two conductor wiring.
