the best humbucker

I have theese on my Gibson Sonex-180 Custom and they are just incredible. I have played EMG's humbuckers but they're far away from the 496. The neck one gives incredible clear and accurate sound and the bridge one, with a normal amp distortion, gives a powerful, hot and heavy sound. If you're in to hard rock, punk or metal, this pickup is the ONE.

This is the one

I've been using this pickup for 15 years on my LP. I can't even remember what my treble/bridge pickup sounds like any more. This ceramic is awesome and I highly recommended it. Chording is full and deep and leads are warm heavy and responsive, (yes, I play lead with it) It's awesome.
