Here's a quick comparison of the stock 498T vs a brand new Lindy Fralin P90 in my '96 LP Studio
To my ears the Lindy is much more clear, articulate, and "pretty"

Some notes:
I ordered the Lindy pickup in "stock" winding
I also swapped volume pots and tone caps while I had her open, but for the sample recordings both volume and tone pots were dimed, so the differences in those components are minimized.
-to this point, it was probably unnecessary for me to include the tone cap info on the back-to-back samples
