What pickups have I got II
Hi - I posted a message a couple of weeks ago to try and identify a pair of Gibson pickups.
I was advised by several of you that they are probably 490R and 490T but a photo would be useful to clarify - I have now attached this. Basically I bought them in good faith second hand as 490R and 498T however the resistance incorrectly read 8.25ohms and 8.7ohms as opposed to 7.5ohms and 13ohms. The pole screws are slightly closer together on the pickup with the black wire so I assume they are a bridge / neck pickup. Any ideas would be much appreciated ? Thanks very much Rob

Looks like one of those magnetic doobies with some kind of Alien design etched in the bottom...cool!

Re: What pickups have I got II
thats a 490 set as the others have already pointed out, If i were you i would swap the AII magnets for roughcast 5's and then you will have a amazing set of gibbys on your hands!
 very T-topish! is that even a word???
