The versatile tonal palette comes from the powerful 490R and 498T humbuckers: the 490R with 4-conductor wiring and wax potting delivers the warm, clear characteristics of an original PAF pickup, while the hotter-output 498T with its Alnico 5 magnet is perfect for hard rock and pushing your amp’s front end.
