I think they switched to Burstbucker Pro pickups for 2002 but some probably still came with 490/498s. If you take the pickups out of the guitar and look at the underside you'll know.

 

I thought they were probably 490/498's. I had an '04 Custom that sounded the same (thru my Boogie). I just bought a '10 Traditional Pro and am thinking about changing out the Burstbucker 3 (bridge) to a 498t but want to be sure that this is the pup sound I want. Any opinions about a great classic rock souding pup?

Pretty much any Gibson humbucker can cover rock. Gibson wise, I like Burstbuckers 1/2 and '57 Classics the most. If you're willing to buy aftermarket pickups, the sky's the limit because there are a lot of choices. Try googling "best PAF clone" and you'll get numerous threads on what people have tried/recommend. So far, I've only tried Throbak and Wolfetone pickups. Both are excellent.
