Are you generally a single coil player? Someone used to playing strats or teles will definitely find a neck humbucker to be dark sounding in comparison no matter the brand.

I agree that humbuckers are generally darker than single coils.
I have a Tele and a Strat clone which can at times be piercingly bright.
My comment was due to a drop in high frequencies from both the bridge and neck humbuckers due to a partially shorted cable.

Hi!
First post!
I also own a t486 and the neck pickup is really dark and boomy.
So I got some Lollars and had them installed.
Installer kinda mess up and I had to take it back, but the Lollars were sounding wimpy, no life and no body.
I will get back to you again when I get the guitar back.
If I don't get it by Saturday, I will post after the 30th as I am flying out for a week.
Anyone knows if the 486T are wired with 50's wiring or modern wiring?

Good plan Pura Vida
So i mailed to Eastman Europe with the same question and a quick respond in Dutch (Eastman Europe settles in Almere Holland)
De T486 is inderdaad identiek bedraad als een ES-335.
Ik wens je veel succes met je project!
Met vriendelijke groet,

This means
The T486 has indeed exactly the same wirring diagram as the es 335.
Goodluck with your project
Kind regards.....

Lollars are in and now I am messing with pickups height. Who knows, I might get it right or not, LOL.
Any suggestions on where to start?
2.4mm-1.6mms?
TY!

I am certain there are others in this forum who can help you with pickup swapping who know way more than I do.
Search the forum topics.
Good luck,
