Gibson 490R Modern Classic Rhythm Alnico II Neck Humbucker Pickup 4-Conductor Zebra - PU490RZB4

Gibson 490R “Modern Classic” Rhythm Humbucker Zebra

Introducing the Gibson 490R Modern Classic Rhythm Alnico II Neck Humbucker Pickup, perfect for rock enthusiasts. Designed to meet the demands of modern musicians, this pickup features a four-conductor wiring scheme, allowing for versatile coil splitting by adding a push/pull pot (pot not included). With wax potting that minimizes microphonic feedback, this humbucker delivers the original Gibson Patent Applied For tone with a slight increase in upper midrange response. The double black bobbins and Alnico II magnet provide a classic look and warm, vintage-inspired tone. The 490R is calibrated to match the 490T bridge pickup, with pole pieces aligned for optimal string spacing at the neck.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Gibson 490R Modern Classic Rhythm Alnico II Neck Humbucker Pickup is a perfect blend of vintage-inspired tone, modern versatility, and exceptional craftsmanship, making it a top choice for discerning musicians.
