Changing my LP Studio Bridge Pickup

rafazu41 · 11-06-2009, 02:57 PM

I was thinking and what if i change my LP studio 498T for a 500T Super Ceramic Bridge Humbucker.. what if i keep the 500T and the 490R? would i have to change the 490R for a 496R? or would it work fine with the 490R?

the 500t has a reading of 15k i think, while a 490 will be somewhere along 7k, so you may need a hotter neck pickup

I think the 498T and 500T are the same pickups with different magnets.
