Replaced the pickups on my 1966 Epiphone SG re-issue with this bridge pickup, and a 496r at the neck. What was a nice playing although muddy sounding axe has been reborn into a searing hot, razor sharp weapon. Clearity like you wouldn't believe and the ability to cut through like a white hot scalpel. Probably not what you'd want if youre into Paul Simon or James Taylor, but what the hell, Im just old, not dead! Just a note - the stock pickup covers didnt fit so their bare-ass nekid, and I had to get on to the Gibson site for wiring help.

The 500T came stock on my Les Paul Classic and they just blow me away. I've been playing over 20 years and am a tone freak... These are simply the best I have heard-

This is the bridge pickup in my les paul classic (accompanied by a 496R) and it is absolutely incredible. I love the stripped down screaming sound. it is also suprisingly versatile.

The 500T came paired with a 496R in my Les Paul Classic and my Flying V. I was totally blown away! I purchased another 500T and 496R and put them in an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus with 4 "push-pull" pots. The tone combinations are almost illegal! These work great in the studio and live for all music styles. They are worth every penny.

This pickup is great! I got it on my sg-x (because it's factory standard) but it screams louder than i thought it would. I would definitely recommend this for replacing a pickup in any guitar if you like rock.
