I used it for my flying V and it sounds awesome.

Great pickup

If you're looking for a hot pickup, with slight compression and balanced eq, this could be it. It sounds very musical, and the cleans are always present, it's amazing. I had them (this one and the 500T) on my Gibson Les Paul Classic and I loved them so much, so I got another pair for my SG Standard, which I use more on tours, (cause it's lighter). If you're looking for some AC/DC tones, or the Russian Circles sound, or probably the Billy Howerdel sound, this is a great option.

Gibson P-496R Humbucker BK

the Gibson P-496R is a pickup sounding great for those in search of a defined sound but vintage shades, big and very balanced attack. I have installed it on the bridge of a guitar mid-level I'm really satisfied.

I highly recommend it, great value for money.

P-496R

Nice and versatile pick up. I put this into an SG rebuild I am doing and it gives a vintage tone.
