        <![CDATA[ NB. L-490's are now L-609's, and L-495's are now L-610's. The 609's produce the same sound as the 490's, but the 610's produce more highs than the 495's. The 609's and 610's have the same dimensions as the L-500's.These are noisefree soapbar retrofits for guitars with full-size humbucker routs. L-490's are derived from the 10 / 12-string pedal steel pickup. The poles are Alnico 5 (?).The L-495's are less refined than the L-490's, and reveal the rawness of the original P-90.- L-490's: hard... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I got some L490s second hand and installed them in that ash Mockingbird under my nick. I was under the impression they were either the same as 290s or a higher
output version, depending on what letter you added to the model name. I was told that 500k pots were recommended and since I put an L280 in the middle
position, I wanted the extra brightness anyway. I noticed that you added a footnote to your original post stating that 250K pots were &#39;now&#39; recommended

			<description><![CDATA[ For both clean and overdriven blues, I like the P90-sound best.  As you tend to play bluesy stuff, I&#39;d recommend the L609/L610 set suggested by Becky and
Nocaster.  However, if your taste leans more towards fat, humbucker blues, the L90s and L80s are amazing.  Both sets will give you plenty of versatility to
also cover jazz and funk styles - especially if you also install a Q-filter.

Of course, &quot;blues&quot; is almost all about technique and a good blues player could make... ]]></description>

L-609/L-610 will be fine as well (in the BL &quot;F&quot; wide spacing that is).  BTW, I&#39;ll be giving Becky a call Tuesday - can wait to place my order :-) ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I just bought some second-hand 490s with Gibson spacing.  I had a look at the info above on Fender vs Gibson string spacing and the ranges recommended for G and F pickups.  The info suggests that I could use a 490G neck pickup in my tele neck - it just fits within the recommmended range.  Will it be too much of a compromise?  Does anyone have any thoughts on this? ]]></description>
