  1. Thanks. I’ve only found old ads where they were already sold, but haven’t found any currently available. Interesting.
  2. Fred, Thanks. This one is actually an “AES” classic which I understand from Gibson customer service was the same.
  3. I have a Gibson “AES Classic” acoustic electric made in Bozeman, MT in 1992 (in the attached picture) I can’t find one for sale anywhere, nor can I find much information about it. Can anyone tell me how rare it is to find one now, and anything about this model? Thanks
  4. So I am thinking I’ll put the TFW P-90 set into the Epiphone Special to replace the factory Humbuckers to try it out. It has 500 pots. Should I use a .047uf-200v orange drop capacitor, a .047uf-400v orange drop capacitor, or something else like .022uf with the P-90’s? Thanks.
  5. Good stuff! Thanks for your help. If I change the volume pots to 500k Ohms, does it matter what brand/model and should I change the tone pots too?

  7. After a little more research, I think the 490 is a 490R after all even through it has a T on the back. Therefore, please consider my original question as modified for these four pickups: Gibson 490R Gibson 498T Aftermarket P90 bridge Aftermarket P90 neck Thanks
  8. I like to play mostly hard rock (Led Zeppelin, AC/DC etc) and have the following pickup choices to put into my Epiphone "1966" G-400 Pro or my Epiphone Les Paul: 1) Gibson 490T 2) Gibson 498T 3) Aftermarket TFW P90 Neck replacement 4) Aftermarket TFW P90 Bridge replacement I can use any combination on the two guitars. Can anyone make any suggestions on how I might use a neck and bridge pickup combo (out of the four choices) on each guitar? I am not afraid to mix and match if it makes sense for great sound. Also, I originally thought I had a 490R to match with the 498T but the back of the humbucker I thought was a 490R has a "T" stamped on the back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
