This "Modern Classic" features tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic with a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special alnico II magnet gives this beauty a singing quality that delivers on demand. The 490R (See recommended accessories box on this page), with its neck spaced pole pieces, is calibrated to match the bridge spaced 490T for a perfect match. Available with chrome, gold, or nickel covers, or with open coils, the 490R and 490T come with 4 conductor shielded wiring for series/parallel/split coil variations. NOTE: Factory installed 490R and 490T pickups have 2 conductor wiring.
For classic tone you need a classic pickup. Order today!
