Petrosrock Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Here's one for you... Which one do you suggest me for better AC/ DC sound? I 'm between 490T, 498T, EMG 81. To be installed to my SG 400 Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 If you want REALLY screaming top end leads & solos, you might want to look into the 500T ceramic, The "Angus Young" Gibson custom humbucker, or the Gibson "Dirty Fingers" humbucker. If i'm not mistaken, those are the 3 hottest bridge p'ups Gibson makes. I'm especially partial to the 500T in my Flying-V, and they can be bought fairly cheaply on such online auctions as "ebay" or the Greek version of it, because many players find them either too hot, or too high end oriented.

animalfarm Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 IF you're going GIBSON, I've ebayed 2 sets of 490R/498Ts at $100 a SET, instead of $100 EACH. Buyer beware, do your research, ask questions of seller. I'm happy with mine, Put a set in each of my EPI LPs... 1 set from a 2004 Gibson LP, the other from a 1992 Gibson LP.

Steven Lister Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Petros your avatar set-up begs the question "why ask us?" Invite Angus over for afternoon "tea" and get the word direct from the man himself. I say D-A-M-N! While the two of you are discussing medical uses, he may even share his Marshall tweaks and other signal chain tricks that you will want if in-the-ballpark isn't close enough. Good luck.

Bender 4 Life Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 angus young uses the stock pickups on the gibson special which are 490t. he uses the stock stuff in the guitar. at least that what i have heard he has a few "stockers" in his vintage SGs, but most of what he uses now are loaded with his signature p'ups.
