FS/Swap, UK! Gibson 490T!

[fakiekid]

Bridge pickup from an SG Special Faded, seen better days, bobbin tape is rough and 1 bobbin of the pickup has been slightly filed. Unnoticeable until looked at close up.

£20! + £3 delivery, will include some screws and springs but are mismatched. for £5 more you can have this beauty with it.

Will swap for anything high output. Dirty Fingers, Invader, Distortion, Alt 8, white or black. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS!

What do you mean one bobbin has been filed?
Does the pickup work properly?
And finally, what's the spacing between the two outer poles? 50mm by any chance?

Re: FS/Swap, UK! Gibson 490T!

The pickup works perfectly, came back out of a 80's Les Paul standard 2 weeks ago.

from centre of poles - poles is around 53mm.

The edge has been scuffed ever so lightly, god knows why, will take some pics, 5 mins!

Here we go,

Its not by a massive amount and like I say, is pretty unnoticeable until up close. That's why I'm offering the nickel cover at a discounted price (usually £12).

Re: FS/Swap, UK! Gibson 490T!

The matted area along the edge of the bobbin is just string wear. (Nothing to worry about.) OTOH, I did not know that Gibson offered the 490T on any Les Paul model. SGs, certainly. LPs? No.

Can we just clear up the history of this pickup, please?
1) Taken from LP Std two weeks ago.
2) Transplanted into SG Spl Faded.
3) Removed from SG Spl Faded.
4) Listed on this forum.

Is this correct? Thanks in advance.

Re: FS/Swap, UK! Gibson 490T!

No,

1) I acquired the set of 490's from a customers SG Special Faded who had a JB/Jazz combo put in. He gave me the pups as payment for fitting. They then sat around doing nothing for a few months.

2) I leant the bridge pickup to a friend who put it in his LP standard, I got it back a couple of weeks ago. He buys a Pearly Gates, I get my pickup back.

3) Listed on the forum.

What do you mean they aren't matching? Do the screws fit?

Re: FS/Swap, UK! Gibson 490T!

yeah they fit perfectly, but one is an old + and the other a brand new - . Both springs are brand new. I'll have a search tomorrow and see if I can find another new - for you.

Re: FS/Swap, UK! Gibson 490T!

Och don't worry about it, as long as they fit and I can mount it I don't mind. Seems every used pickup I get off ebay has no screws and I end up mixing and matching - as long as I can mount it, I'm happy.
