A question for pickup makers.
I have a set of Gibson 490R/498T's in my guitar right now. I want to put a Duncan PAF that I have lying around in the neck.
I'm not fond of the 498T in the bridge (about 13.8k) and want to put the 490R in the bridge. From research I've found that the 490R and the Gibson 57' "PAF" (not plus) are almost identical and having same 8.5k impedance. But the 490R has more "upper mids" than the Classic 57'. I'm told they are both wound with same gauge wiring, both with steel base plates and both having Alnico II's in them.
What component on these pups would change the frequency range to have more upper mids?
