Description

Gibson Pickup 496R Hot Ceramic Zebra

As the musical landscape changed from the earth-shattering rockabilly of Scotty Moore in the '50s, to the arena rock of Jimmy Page in the '70s, so did the development of the humbucking pickup. Introduced in the early '70s, the Gibson 496R pickup filled the need for a hotter humbucker and helped energize the emergence of hard rock and heavy metal. With its powerful ceramic magnet, the 496R delivers incredible sustain and power, adding more highs and increased definition.
