See, the guy is a killer player and that is an awesome tone. However, I would never dial in a tone similar to that for myself in a million years. We all play different styles of music and have different styles of playing, it is great that we have so many options to play with.

Thank you folks for your replies. I’ve been playing the guitar and the 490T is growing on me but to be entirely honest I’ve been playing my Les Paul Slash Edition with the custom Slash pups a bunch. Man it’s got some serious tonnnnne.
Thank you for the replies. I will look into the SNS pups. Not seeing them in stock right now in the places I normally look.

They are a great pickup, I have them in my SG. Any criticism of them can be obligated with a tweak of your amp knobs. They are great pickups if you dial them in right.

I have the SNS bridge in a Les Paul and that guitar is now my number 1 as it is very versatile. In saying that depends what your looking for as 490T are bland. Anything would be an improvement...

I've had a 490R in the neck of a les paul. I swapped it out for a 59 and am happier with the 59 in it. I know what you mean, 490s are good pickups. I recently played a friends PRS se that had 490s, and they sounded fine. Gibson pickups just don't "do it" for me the same way Duncans do.
I have SNS set in my SG and i cannot recommend them highly enough.

The 490R and 490T both use an alnico 2 magnet.
I really like the sound of an alnico 2 neck pickup and an alnico 4 bridge pickup together, and have that combination in two of my PRS guitars.
The SNS bridge would probably be a big improvement.

Man, I hated the 490 set. I'd think the SNS would be a huge improvement, especially in an SG.
