Gibson IM98T-GH 498T Humbucker Bridge Hot Alnico Gold

The Gibson IM98T-GH 498T Hot Alnico Humbucker Guitar Pickup is an electric guitar pickup featuring a humbucker design, for the bridge position with an alnico V magnet, 4-conductor wiring and a gold cover. This is a high-output version of the 490T. The 498T humbucker combines the powerful response of an Alnico V magnet with additional matched windings on each coil, which puts the emphasis on the pickup’s upper midrange frequencies for enhanced crunch and sustain.

The 498T is perfect for hard rock applications, producing a "beefy, sizzling output" that boosts any guitar’s power and presence. The pole pieces on the 498T are also aligned a little further apart to accommodate the spacing of the strings at the bridge, which is different than the spacing of the strings at the neck. The 498T features shielded, four-conductor wiring for series, parallel or split coil operation, and is fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of microphonic feedback.
