Humbucker ID?

[Auriemma]

I figured I would ask the pickup experts...
I bought this pickup a while ago. I was told it was a Gibson Burstbucker 3 for the neck. I'm thinking not.
It ohms out at 8.0-8.1. Hopefully someone here here can ID for me.
Thanks in advance.

Its a Gibson pup made mid 80ies, probably between 1984 and 1987(due to no stamp on the back), but nearer to 1984 (because brass phillips screws) . The specific model is a bit trickier due to the high DCR and the cover, maybe P490 or a velvet brick/super humbucking (same pup without/with cover).

It's been pointed out there is a T showing out of the lower solder blob. The poles are about 52mm apart as well. If that's of any help.

My guess would be a 490T.

the T can mean they were maybe using up old parts from the mid 80ies. it could be then a very early 490t from 1989
