seattlesinner Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I got these in trade about 8-10 yrs ago. Was told they came from an then new SG. I figure they are either 498T and 490R or possibly '57 Classic, but no sticker on back. Anyone know for sure? I am going to put them up for sale and want to properly identify.

cjsinla Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have a feeling that they are probably the 490r and 498t pups. I've never seen 57's with the Gibson logo or extra rows of screw holes. What do they read on an ohmmeter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they read on an ohmmeter? I haven't yet check with meter. What's confusing is 490r and 498 come with 4-conductor shield. These have two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These have two Many stock pickups still come with braided wiring. To me it is obvious that one is "R" spaced, the other "T" spaced. The "T" one with the larger pole screws spacing could be a 490T or 498T as well, and a DC resistance reading would be helpful for discerning.
