Vintage Set of Covetted 1980s Gibson TIM SHAW PAFs - great for getting that perfect vintage tone or restoring your highly collectible Les Paul! Many sellers don`t know how to accurately ID Tim Shaw PAFs and end up selling you a vastly cheaper PU490 or early 490 series pickup instead. After 1986, there were quite a few similar-looking ˝experimental˝ pickups used. Gibson used the PAT NO. 2,737,842 baseplate from ~1975-1992. Key things to look for in an online listing are small offen brass backplate screws, braided single lead w/ color mark on the end, White Spacers and readings in the 7.1-7.7 kohm range. Most will have a date code XXX XXX on the back, however Tim Shaw PAFs from early 1980 will still have the TTOP-like ˝Mar 30, 1980˝ style date stamp and the last few years of Tim Shaws late 1985-1986 will have no date stamp at all.

All pickups have short legs.

This is a 100% authentic and unmolested, matched-set pulled from an early-1986 Gibson Les Paul .
Sound amazing.
