I've ordered a neck Phat Cat for my Swamp Ash Les Paul. The 490r that came stock in the neck was just too muddy for my tastes. A lot of people have been saying the Phat Cat is quite muddy itself (although apparently this is fixable by swapping the magnets, which I'm happy to do).
What I'm wondering then, is a stock Phat Cat still a significant departure from a stock 490r? Even if it's considered muddy for a P-90, does it still offer significantly more clarity than the stock humbucker?
Any feedback would be appreciated, especially if anyone has heard a Phat Cat in an Ash Les Paul before.
