Some folks will swear up and down they are radically different pickups and I just absolutely do not see that. To my ears, the 490r/490t combo is about 95% the same as the 57/57 set.

Mar 16, 2014В В· My L6-S reissue came with the 490R and 498T as the stock pickups. As humbuckers they were ok, but not my cup of tea. I'm a jazz and blues guitarist, they were better for heavier stuff then what I play. As for coil splitting, the neck pickup was not great. Quite muddy, which is generally the opposite of what one would expect from shutting off a 490R, 490T, & 498T . These "modern classic" pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound.

Mar 28, 2011В В· I have a LP Std with a 490R and 498T and agree (after 20 years with this guitar) that they don't work well as a set. I went down the magnet swapping route and moved the A2 from the 490R to the bridge, and the A5 from the 498T to the neck. With a little pickup height adjustment to even out the levels, it's a big improvement. Feb 08, 2008В В· The Modern Classics (490R/498T) are AlNiCo II mags = a little warmer sounding. The Burstbucker Pros are AlNiCo V mags = a little brighter. I own an LP with modern classics and I can't imagine a better "all-around" rock pickups than my 498T. However, I think an AlNiCo V pickup might clean up my neck position. ~GuitarMD~
