The Gibson 498T "Hot Alnico" Bridge Zebra at a glance:
The Gibson 498T "Hot Alnico" Bridge Zebra is the hotter version of the 490T and combines classic Alnico V qualities with additional coil winding. This is tuned in such a way that the high mids come into their own and give the sound of the pickup additional assertiveness in a band context. This makes the 498T "Hot Alnico" ideal for guitarists looking for a powerful pickup for appropriate hard rock and metal sounds. However, thanks to the 4-core connection cable, softer and clear single coil sounds can also be elicited from the 498T via coil Split.
