Gibson 498T Hot Alnico Humbucker Pickup, Double Black

Gibson’s 498T humbucker cranks things up with a hotter output than the 490T, blending the punch of an Alnico 5 magnet with extra balanced windings on each coil. This combo shines in the upper mids, delivering crunchy tones and long-lasting sustain. Ready to ignite your hard rock sound, the 498T effortlessly pushes amps into overdrive, giving your guitar a bold, sizzling boost that demands attention.

The 498T’s pole pieces are spaced wider to match the string layout at the bridge, unlike at the neck, helping you crank out fat rhythms and killer leads without losing any note clarity. It comes with shielded, four-conductor wiring for flexible series, parallel, or coil-splitting options, plus it’s fully wax potted to keep pesky microphonic feedback far, far away.
