Re: What should I expect?
Seths have sounded great in any LP I have tried them in. For a more 70's sound, check out the Whole Lotta Humbuckers or the Alnico II Pro sets. If you are really into getting the exact 70s pickups, troll ebay, and they come up once in awhile (when that person discovers Seths)

They're one of the world's great PAF's, and blow away anything Gibson makes.

Didn't Seth Lover invent the humbucker? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought he created the first humbucker and then was bought out by Fender to develop stuff for them in the 70s?

Yes, in the mid 1950's. Years later he worked with Seymour to design the Duncan SH-55 Seth. Pretty serious credentials.

It's the hardest-to-die metropolitan legend among guitar players.
HTH,
If you mean the short A5 in a 490R makes it a T-Top, don't bother.

Re: What should I expect?
Golden Age was the model designation used by Schaller for their PAF wannabe clone humbuckers.
I haven't had the opportunity to listen to one for decades. Perhaps, LtKojak can chime in on these?

The name of the Schaller p'ups is "Golden 50s", and they're still made to this day.
HTH,
Well, actually, no.

BTW, Stew Mac Golden Age aren't PAF clones, but the Parsons Street are.

Good deal!! I'm still wondering what the 490's will sound like with A3's or A4's I think I'm a bit hard headed :kabong:

I wouldn't look at it as being hard headed–if you know how the 490's sound in that guitar before the mod then doing the mod will educate you on how the magnet swap affected the tone. Experience is vital in developing your own tone.

Do you already have the 490R/490T set?
Ok, Andy. Let's do this the smart way:

Re: What should I expect?
I do, a set was donated to me by my friend that replaced his pu's with SD Slash set! I'm just looking for Magnets and he's looking for the PCB board that was originally in his Gibson since he replaced it with Push Pull pots and different caps. I don't know what else he did but his Gibson sounds really cool!
