What are the good and bad characteristics of the 500T?
Are they pretty hot power wise ?

I wouldn't quantify any of these comments as good or bad, just the quality of the 500T. It was a little too hot for me, although I was comparing it to the 498T that I have in my Les Paul. I'm not sure if it was the number of windings or the ceramic magnet, but I couldn't get it to clean up as easily ... always seemed to have a little grit to it, even with the volume rolled down on the guitar and the gain on the amp turned down. I found it to sound a lot like a Super Distortion ... so if that's your taste, this may be to your liking.
