Let's just say from May 11, 2011 and Jan 2, 2020 (9years) that the original poster has bought a guitar

If it's the exact same guitar that's "only" $300 off, and GC is still going to make a profit as its called "mark up"
You buy something mark it up 200%, then once in a while put out a 25% sale.
Also GC gets back a lot of returns, sometimes for stupid little things, easy to put that out on a "inventory blow out sale" as well

If you've sprayed the pots with cleaner and as you say work fine on their own..
Then the common denominator is???
The selector switch.
Clean it too

They us a single screw with a spring to raise or lower your pickup.
The spring put a torque twist on the bottom of the pickup that causes the twist.
That the pickup out, put a small block of foam in the pickup cavety, reinstall the pickup.
That way the foam keeps the pickup level

Looks like quilted maple

Part of the middle position is both volumes interact .
Turn either one to zero produces zero sound.
Just like being in either pickup and turning its volume to zero

Carter's is pretty reputable.
But if in doubt, call Gruhn's in Nashville.
If you can't talk to George, then ask for for Greg Voros their head repair/restorer

I thought the drum solo was there so the band and half the audience could go to the washroom

I don't have first hand knowledge but nitro is supposed to meld itself into the existing nitro surface.
A "fix" shouldn't be too hard but you need someone that has nitro and some nitro experience

Guess a lot of people are missing the point of the heading of the post. When I bought this guitar in Nov' of 2017, Gibson's website said the guitar came with 498T/490R. Here's the original webpage...
http://espanol.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2018/USA/Les-Paul-Tribute-2018.aspx
If you scroll down to the bottom, you'll see where it says what pickups they are. Imagine my surprise when I pulled them and found both were 490's. Someone at Gibson screwed up with either the marketing dept' or creating the page for the website with wrong info.
No we didn't miss your point, but you missed ours
Did you also scroll down that web page you posted?
At the bottom "Terms and Conditions ", take a read.

Can we assume it's the G string that's going out of tune the most??

Did you saw the images of the tuner?
Yes
Looks like it's like 1 to 2 cents out.
But looks like you're using an app on a phone.
Get a real tuner

Well no tension spring in saddles, so you don't have that to contend with
If flip it, just start a new slot in the "right" spot
But it seems strange you A saddle is all the way forward

Remember you can always remove the tension spring to get just a bit more travel

If you want it tighter.
Use plumbers thread tape, quick wrap around threads will tighten it up

So you got a crossover as they were switching spec's.
You're yanking the pickups , so a mute point I think
Unless you're thinking of selling the old 490 pickups and thinking you can't sell them as high a price as the 498's??

You got pulled in like I did 🙂. The OP is 10 years old.
This is happening all the time now. You see an interesting new post, that isn't really new at all. Often down to new members searches I suspect.
Well SKTN77a does have a sheep for an avatar.

I'm pretty sure Randy Rhodes didn't worry if his white guitar would pick up the color from his jeans or shirt, or whether it would show belt buckle or pick scratches, or would discolor from time.
He just played the heck out of it.

What they're saying is
If it isn't what you're looking for right away, it never will be. Whether you swap the pickups, pull the piezo, etc
You'll always be going, this isn't my 76.

Why don't you "top wrap" the stop tail if you want to deck the stop to the surface of the guitar.
That way the string are "that much" higher than the holes in the stop tail for the strings and will be pretty much a straight run from the TOM to the stop tail
I'm not going to get into the "strings can't touch the back of the TOM" argument
If I want an argument, I'll talk to my wife

Another interesting thing I discovered is that my t-shirts with rubber prints stick to the SG but not to other guitars. Or maybe the SG just tries to glue itself to me LOL!
I can't wear a printed/silk screen shirt with my 2001 Les Paul 18yrs later, after it was made
Careful what you wear, or you can take the finish off
I'll tell you mosquitoe repellent on your arm will also take the nitro off too

Exposed wire on Seymour Duncan Pickup
in Gibson USA
Posted
Hard to see when I zoom in the picture gets blurry.
But they have to join 2 coils of wire together somehow to make it a humbucker pickup
I suspect you're seeing that connection as there are no pickup covers on the pickup
