Gibson Burstbucker, '57 Classic, 490T, Custom Buckers and '61s...

So all these pickups are wound just about the same, but the differences are:

Burstbuckers are overwound on the slug side making for very unbalanced coils,

'57 Classics have equal winds for a slight unbalance due to the slug side's extra conductance,

The 490T? Please enlighten me.

Custom Buckers have A3 magnets instead of A2s like the rest of these have.

'61s have A5s and are overwound on the screw coil making for a very balanced pickup.

Is this correct?
