The 498T is perfect for any hard rock application, easily overdriving amplifiers for a beefy, sizzling output that boosts any guitar's power and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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. This aids in producing powerful leads and thick rhythm without sacrificing single-note definition. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnet: Alnico 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: 4-Conductor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble Black Bobbins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWax Potted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage DC Resistance: 14.2K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetails: High output, enhanced mids and highs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 498T Hot Alnico Bridge Humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel Cover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reverb.com\/item\/103201562-gibson-498t-hot-alnico-bridge-humbucker-nickel-cover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eView original listing on Reverb\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54187032904043,"sku":"I01019793","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/5713\/8027\/files\/7670ae58-f885-40a9-92c8-4d387e8ea627.jpg?v=1792687520","url":"https:\/\/atomicmusic.com\/products\/gibson-498t-hot-alnico-bridge-humbucker","provider":"Atomic Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
