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. The "Modern Classic" Series from Gibson features tonal characteristics that are similar to the company's popular '57 Classic, but with a slight increase in the upper midrange. It's 100% pure humbucker, but with a modern edge that delivers a more contemporary tonal range that's perfect for almost any style of music. Start with a basic Gibson humbucker, drop a slightly hotter Alnico V magnet into a specially wound coil combination and you have the 498T "Hot Alnico" pickup. With a frequency response that favors the upper midrange and high end, coupled with a high output, this is the perfect rock guitar pickup. This one has a chrome plated cover.498T Hot Alnico 5 Humbucker - Bridge (Chrome) Image Gallery

I found this to be a very MELLOW pickup for being listed in the "HOT" catagory. I expected alot more from a supposedly hot pickup. But there is both good and bad to everything. Now the good stuff. It ... read more [+]is a very clear sounding pickup. Every notes/chord can be heard. I love it for playing the blues. It really shine when running clean whith some chorus. Thats where it can't be beat. It also does a good job of the old classic rock sound, when I run through my old plexi. It is not made for metal at all. close [-]
