From Our Research Team:Gibson Pickups!It would be a big mistake to assume that all humbuckers sound alike. Truth is, there are a number of Gibson humbucking pickups available, and each one has its own distinctive personality. When you want a smokin' neck pickup with incredible sustain and plenty of punch, may we suggest you try the 496R "Hot Ceramic." You'll be amazed at how the ceramic magnet adds more highs with increased definition but without any muddiness. From big, fat power chords to screaming lead lines that ooze with attitude, the 496R is unlike any other humbucker in the Gibson line. This one comes with double black coils and no pickup cover.496R Hot Ceramic Humbucker (Double Black) Image Gallery

It is my Ozzy guitar, that's the only kind of sound you can get from the pickup. This is a great pickup. but if you play more than one type of music, you will need more than one guitar. I have tried all kinds of processors and the pickup still has a very hard time to be cleaned-up. Bewarned. close [-]
