Anyone know what pickups came stock in a 2008 Les Paul Custom? The back of the bridge reads "Gibson USA"

Thanks guys!

That's what was suggested to me. Did find some with that combo in online.

If you don't dig them, try replacing the magnets with a set of unoriented A5. I did mine, and loved the results.

Yep. I think they're way better than Burstbuckers. They used to put them in the Standards at one point as well. Late 90's? Early 2000's? Studios for years.

I think they're great pickups. Loved them in the SG Standards, too. Nice and raunchy.

If you want more firepower throw in a 500t
But yeah I actually like the 490/498 combo a lot. Better than BB IMO.

Warmer/spongier bridge pickup, brighter/bolder neck pickup.
