Gibson 490R Neck Humbucker Guitar Pickup Black Used

Used with wear associated with use. Minor light cosmetic scratches from handling and play. Any noteworthy blemishes or issues will be described and pictured. Works as it should.

The 490R has the traditional characteristics of the original Patent Applied For pickups but with two key modifications. First, a four-conductor wiring scheme allows the 490s to be connected to any push/pull knob, which lets players split the coils and increase versatility. Gibson also introduced wax potting, which does away with any air space, minimizing microphonic feedback. The 490R is a humbucker with the tonal characteristics of an original Patent Applied For, with a slight increase in upper midrange response.
