The pickups on that 490 look like early 481 humbuckers. If so, two thumbs way up from me on John's choice of pickups, with all of those on board mixing options. We get some very cool sounds with the phase reversal switch. Really a sound like no other guitar.


As far as I know that's the only other guitar those pickups were ever used on. Wouldn't mind hearing it...

There should be some sort of commemoration of the 80th anniversary--that's quite a landmark! Eighty years in business, and over fifty years of same-family ownership--the only guitar company I can think of that equals that (actually surpasses it) is Martin.
