Gibson 490R/T question

[ildar]

I bought a pickup that was advertised as a 490R, but is stamped with a T on the plate. Anyone know if this is in fact a 490T?

I just pulled the pickups out of my Les Paul, they are both stamped with a "T", that might be an indicator for the coils with the adjustment screws, at least that what it is in my case.

I guess that's the case. I measured the pickup and it reads 8kohms, just about right for a neck pickup.

They're supposed to be labled, with a "Wound by: " and date code, as well as model, but.... older stock might not have that.
