TattooedCarrot Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 What pickups came with my 2004 SG Standard? Do most players swap them out If so with what? Thanks: d/ 490R in the neck, which is a basic low output alnico 2 pickup (same as found in the BB King sig and a few other models). 498T in the bridge, which is a higher output alnico 5 pickup geared towards rock. A lot of people do change them out. Personally, I don't think they're too bad after changing out the pots for some decent 500k (like CTS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Robinson Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The Gibson classic 57 pickups are probably the most popular choice for replacement pickups for a classic rock vibe but it depends on the sound u want / style of music . I use Bareknuckle riff raff in the bridge again for the classic rock vibe and it is superb but these will be expensive in the USA . I would nt recommend the Gibson 498t , these are too mid rangey .
