Gibson's 500T Super Ceramic is a bridge–position humbucker engineered for high–output aggression without sacrificing clarity. The multi–ceramic magnet structure delivers articulate lows and crisp highs simultaneously, making it equally capable of snarling rhythm work and piercing lead lines. It's the kind of pickup that rewards aggressive pick attack whilst maintaining definition through gain.
The 500T employs four–conductor wiring that opens up series, parallel, and split–coil configurations depending on your wiring scheme. Full wax potting eliminates microphonic noise that can plague hotter pickups, while the ceramic composition pushes output and sustain significantly. Measuring 16.5 cm in depth and 12.7 cm across, it's a full–sized humbucker that integrates directly into standard Gibson cavities without modification.
