First, a four-conductor wiring scheme allows the 490s to be connected to any push\/pull knob, which lets players split the coils and increase versatility. Gibson also introduced wax potting, which does away with any air space, minimizing microphonic feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 490R is a humbucker with the tonal characteristics of an original Patent Applied For, with a slight increase in upper midrange response. The 490T bridge pickup is calibrated to match the 490R, with pole pieces aligned a little further apart to accommodate the spacing of the strings at the bridge, which is different than the spacing of the strings at the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003e\n• Position: Neck\u003cbr\u003e\n• Magnet: Alnico 2\u003cbr\u003e\n• Wiring: 4-Conductor\u003cbr\u003e\n• Cover: Gold\u003cbr\u003e\n• Double Black Bobbins\u003cbr\u003e\n• Wax Potted\u003cbr\u003e\n• Average DC Resistance: 8K\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson Pickup Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45868626477209,"sku":"PU490RDBGC4","price":169.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/6799\/6313\/files\/md_1_1_0777660.webp?v=1762534857","url":"https:\/\/metronomie.com\/en\/products\/gibson-pickup-shop_pu490rdbgc4","provider":"Métronomie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
