I am puzzled and I need some advise.
2 weeks a go I bought my son a Gibson LP Studio 50's http://www.bgwguitars.com/data/gibson89.htm . When I passed by the new SweeLee a few days later, I popped in to see that same model was sold there but I was wondering as the colour of the guitar was somehow different, mine's abit darker/browner, so I tot it could be different batch of finish.
I had the pups replaced to bareknuckle pups, and put the pups on sale here at soft.com (refer to my eariier sales thread). Today, I was informed by the buyer that the pick ups were actually not as said: 490R/498T. This was the buyer remarks: " ... both pick ups arde trebble pups, I took off the sticker of the 490R and it says "T". I checked the resistance and they didnt match. 490R reads 8.1k, it should be 7.2-7.8k. the 498t read 14.4K it should be 12.3-13.5k. the labels fell off easily, are you sure you are not getting the wrong pups?..."
My question are:
Thank you for advise. regards

My question are:
- What does it mean by “treble/ T” pups?
- Are the readings above correct for 498T/490R?
- Could it be any possibility that the guitar might carry different pups?
Thank you for advise. regards
