These T-Type pickups are a great way to inject some serious bite and vintage vibe into your guitar. They’re inspired by late '60s Gibson sounds, delivering a powerful, clear tone perfect for rock, blues, and classic rock players. If you're after that ES-335 growl without the full ES-335 price tag, these are a solid choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
The T-Type pickups offer a more aggressive, brighter sound than the 490R/498T, lacking some of their low-end warmth and fullness.
Generally yes, but the slightly higher output might require some tweaking of your volume and tone controls to avoid harshness.
While they are higher output, the Alnico 5 magnet and quality construction keep noise relatively well-controlled, but a noise gate may still be beneficial for extreme gain settings.
