  • Gibson 490s in Zebra are hard to find!

    Hey!

    I've had a love/hate relationship with the 490T and 490R pickups that come stock in Gibson's more "affordable" axes. Many others have, too, so they're often available on the used market. That said, I can't seem to find a 490, with T or R, in zebra. I've found plenty of zebra 498Ts, but that's just not what I'm looking for at the moment. They don't seem to sell Zebras individually either (even if I were willing to pay the absurd price that they charge for their humbuckers!), though they do sell them in black, nickel, chrome, and gold.

    Any ideas where I might be able to find one?__PRESENT

    Andertons seems to have them in stock, both R and T


    Sweetwater carries but not in stock. Probably could order.

    They aren't a popular replacement pickup, and zebra seems the least desirable configuration in general (though great for cosmetics of certain guitars.)
