Nitpicking (sorry)... but IIRC, the 490t and 498t came out at the same time (more or less). But I otherwise agree with what you've said, including your disdain for the 498t ;-)

I expect a 490r/490t pair deserves either 50's wiring or a trable bleed (but not both)... I'm not sure which is best for that pair...

I was talking about replacing the bridge pickup in the SG Standard with the 490T.
