You'll be amazed how the high-output ceramic magnet in the Gibson 496R Hot Ceramic Humbucker adds more highs with increased definition and no muddiness. The 496R guitar pickup is available with double black or creme open coils and comes with 4-conductor shielded wiring.
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.

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.
