Get the most out of your Gibson by trying a Humbucker sized P-90 in the neck such as a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat pickup or Tone Rider Rebel 90. A nice change to the standard Gibson Bridge pickup (the Gibson 498t) would be the Bareknuckle Abraxus.
The stock Gibson 490r and Gibson 498t pickups do sound great but what is the best pickup for a Gibson? Well I tried the Seymour Duncan Hotrodded Humbucker set and they sounded worse than the stock Gibson pickups and that led me to looking at humbucker sized P90 pickups, more specifically the Seymour Duncan Phat Cat.
Because my guitar has two humbucker slots, I couldn't opt for standard P90 pickups so had to try a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat. This worked perfectly in the neck of my Gibson SG as it still has a load of power but removes some of that inherent humbucker mudiness.
The next issue was finding a new bridge pickup for my Gibson SG. I callled Bareknuckle pickups and explained which guitar I had, what sound I wanted and that it needed to go with the Seymour Duncan Phat Cat in the neck. They suggested the Bareknuckle Abraxus.
Bareknuckle Abraxus is a hand-wound pickup with an Alnico IV magnet and 43 AWG wire. i'v never used a Bareknuckle pickup before and was seriously impressed! and the guys at Bareknuckle pickups were right, it did fit perfectly with the Seymour Duncan Phat Cat.
So now my favourite guitar, my Gibson SG Standard, has a great sounding pickup combination, a humbucker sized P-90 in the neck, and a hand-wound humbucker in the bridge: the Seymour Duncan Phat Cat and Bareknuckle Abraxus.
