Fantastic comparison, very helpful, thanks !!! Most of them had their moments either clean or dirty, but overall I think the 498T and regular Ducan SH-4 JB sounded best, at least in that guitar. The SH-5 Duncan sounded too bass-heavy IMO. I thought the Classic 57 sounded nice too, especially in its articulation with some medium crunch. I was really hoping to like the AT-1 but it didn't impress me much in this application at least. Great video.

@jimclip2012 Thanks you for the feedback! Totally agree with all of your comments. Re AT-1 - if you listen to Andy Timmons - it sounds pretty much like that - boosted mid-hi-mid frequencies, good for soloing, but it's not that versatile as 498T or JB.

As you can tell Im a huge fan of the 498T,but I love the darkness of the Duncan TB-5.I think both are great pickups that won't leave it sounding thin.Thanks again for the great vid.I'm going to subscribe =)

@ShredShopVidz Thanks for the subscription! And I'm changing TB-4 for 498T finally, waiting the package with 498T from US:)

@ej2eugene The 498T is 1 of the most well rounded pickups ever.Thats why you find them in $3,000 LP's.They work well with any humbucker bridge pickup guitar and any amp.I will be ordering one for my AXL cheap LP copy.The AXL is pretty nice for being so cheap.I will be getting a Les Paul coustom in the near future.They're sweet,they just cost a fortune.

@ShredShopVidz "well rounded" - these are right words for 498T!
