The Gibson 490R Modern Classic Rhythm Humbucker Pickup stands out as a versatile evolution of the legendary Patent Applied For pickups. This pickup, designed for the rhythm/neck position, incorporates Gibson's four-conductor wiring for seamless coil splitting via a push/pull knob. The result is a pickup that lets guitarists switch effortlessly between a powerful humbucker sound and the articulate clarity of single-coil tones.

Engineered with Alnico 2 magnets, this 490R model features a balanced tonal character reminiscent of its vintage predecessors, with a noticeable bump in upper midrange frequencies. Its carefully balanced coils are wax-potted to eliminate microphonic feedback, ensuring consistent, noise-free performance even at higher volumes. The open zebra bobbins add a distinctive visual touch, giving it a unique look that matches its robust sonic profile.

Boasting an average DC resistance of 8K, the 490R excels at delivering smooth, warm tones with a crisp attack. It pairs perfectly with the 490T or 498T bridge pickups, providing a comprehensive tonal range that suits a variety of playing styles. This versatile humbucker brings modern functionality while remaining faithful to Gibson's renowned craftsmanship.
