Gibson T pickups (e.g. 490T, 498T and 500T) are indeed, at 2-1/16", very close to S.D.'s Trembucker spacing. IME they line up with the strings much better than non-T-spaced Gibson pickups. 1-15/16" (i.e. regular) spaced Gibson pickups have poles that sit quite noticeably inside the E strings when used in the bridge position.
I'm not saying that it matters in terms of tone. But it is true that a T spaced bridge pickup will line up better with the strings in a Gibson. So if you care about such things, then you should be getting T spacing for bridge pickups intended for Gibsons.

I'd just go with Seth Lovers and have the best sounding PAF set you can buy.

Hello guys! wanted to say thank you fro the amazing support! and the offers of course!
Having already tried the JB/59 ( and didnt partycularly sound well on my LP) I settled on a pair of DImarzios, 36th anniversary PAFs.
I must be honest with you: they sound spectacular. Sweet, articluate and amazing frequancy response. They sing.
I am so satisfied I cannot tell enough!
one final thought: the more I swap pickups, The more I became convinced there is some kind of intimate factor with an instrumet: I mean, if u have a mahogany/ maple LP guitar room , put a known HB set and it will sound absolutely different in any of them. In some maybe even bad. It just cant be told, It cant be predicted, we can only approximate or judge on experience! such a wondderful world that of pickups!
