The Gibson 490R is a passive neck-position humbucker with an Alnico II magnet and roughly 8k DC resistance. It is the rhythm pickup of Gibson's Modern Classic set, voiced warm and smooth with rounded highs, which suits blues, classic rock and clean or lightly driven playing. Four-conductor wiring plus shield allows coil splitting, parallel wiring and phase options, so it is more flexible than vintage-style two-conductor humbuckers. Compared with hotter neck pickups, it stays articulate and open rather than compressed, and it is a common choice for players who want a traditional PAF-style neck tone with modern wiring options.
