Re: 498T with A8 comparared to Custom 8
I never got the 498T hate, either. I think it's a great pup. Bright, yes, but shrill? Thin? Not imho. It's still got a decent low end that's somewhat accentuated by the mid scoop. My flavor of the month is A2 in it, but that doesn't mean I won't end up going back once I get tired of the mid hump...whenever that is.
Agreed on the pairing with the 490T, however, if one actually USES the guitar's tone controls (assuming they're separate) it's not so bad.
