Gibson 498T Hot Alnico Humbucker Pickup, Treble, Chrome

Gibson’s 498T humbucker kicks it up a notch from the 490T with a high-output punch, thanks to its Alnico 5 magnet and extra balanced windings. This combo shines a spotlight on those crunchy upper midrange tones, delivering sizzling sustain and plenty of growl. Ideal for hard rock warriors, it cranks your amp into overdrive, giving your guitar a beefy boost that commands attention and amps up your stage presence.

The 498T’s pole pieces are spaced wider to match the string layout at the bridge, unlike the neck’s spacing. This helps deliver roaring leads and chunky rhythms without losing those crisp single notes. It also comes with shielded, four-conductor wiring for versatile series, parallel, or coil-splitting options. Plus, it’s fully wax potted to keep annoying feedback at bay, so you can rock out with confidence!
