Guitar Microphone

Designed for those who aren't afraid to shake the walls, the Gibson 496R / 500T Modern Collection set combines two dual-coil ceramic pickups built for big sound. This legendary duo, born in the 1970s, stands out for its raw power, razor-sharp definition and explosive dynamics. Designed for 6-string guitars, this set is aimed above all at hard rock and metal fans who like their sound to vibrate right into their ribs.

The Gibson 496R neck pickup, with its ceramic magnet and 4-conductor wiring, doesn't do things by halves. It offers generous sustain, assertive brilliance and precise response, without ever sounding mushy. Designed for both hard-edged riffs and high-pitched flights of fancy, this pickup is at home in all configurations, whether you're a split-coil fan or a fan of serial wiring, and all without any parasitic feedback thanks to its wax-potted finish.

Combined with the 496R, the Gibson 500T completes the picture with an even fiercer personality. Its trio of ceramic magnets pushes the low frequencies to roar while maintaining surgical precision in the highs. It's not there to lace up, but to roar, bite and slice cleanly. Placed on the bridge, it becomes a powerful ally for heavy rhythms and salty solos. With its 15.2 kΩ resistance, you've got a pickup that can turn your guitar into a riff machine. Everything you need to kick some ass without losing control.

To get the most out of the Gibson 496R / 500T set, a little diversions to a high-gain amp such as a stack or tube combo wouldn't go amiss.

And if you like to tinker with your signal, consider using a cabling mode switch to juggle sounds in parallel, series or split.

Anecdote to keep in mind: these pickups contributed to the sound of many fledgling hard rock bands in the 1980s, with more than one strident solo going down in history.
