skipburz Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I posted this question over on The Gear Page, but thought I should ask it here as well. The dealer sheet for my 1989 ES-175 lists the pick-ups as "59 Reissue Pickups." Do you all think these are 490T/498R? The neck measures at 7.34 ohms and the bridge at 9.2 ohms and have a patent number stamped baseplate. I do not believe they are Bill Lawerence HB1 "circuit board" pups. And even though the guitar was built in early-89, I believe this is still too late to have Shaw pups. Does that mean in all likelihood they're 490T/498R? Any thoughts? Thanks.

merciful-evans Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 This sounds like a hard ask. I certainly am no expert. To me "59 Reissue" sounds like it could mean anything. There will be a better informed person along later I'm sure, but you might have to be patient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
