Members Hardvalve Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 These came out of a 10 year old or so Gibson SG, and I got these on a trade. I have no idea what they are. They have the metal braided 2 conductor wire. They measure 8.5 for the bridge, and 7.8 for the neck pickup. I was thinking non covered 57 pickups, or Bluesbreakers. Just not sure, no identifying label anywhere other than the Gibson USA etched into the back. Any ideas, also what is the value? Any input is appreciated.

Members BigTimeFun Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 Uncovered out of a 10yo SG, bet dollars to donuts it's a pair of 490's. Edit: The value is the resistance reading of the PU, which is in range for 490's. Edit2: You know the value, you were asking the dollar value, sorry 'bout that. Don't think they're worth a whole lot, but I've never gone out to price those PU's. I have a pair of them sitting on my workbench, I'll take a look when I get home.

Members Joby1knobi Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 490r/498t That bridge pickup isn't reading hot enough to be a 498t. Like BigTimeFun said, its a 490R/490T set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wartoxin Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 I agree on the 490R/490T evaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Joby1knobi Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 If I were selling locally I'd price 'em at $85 and take $75 if offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BigTimeFun Posted December 15, 2011 Members Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just verified it, that's a 490r/490t pair from an SG special. I'd be happy with $75, too. that 490t is a kind of specialized taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
