How to Identify Gibson "Tim Shaw" Humbucking Pickups
rmack41 and SKATTERBRANE: How interesting! So Gibson (/Norlin) did not suddenly dispose of extra T-Top bobbins (from the '70s) but gradually incorporated them into the "new" Tim Shaw design starting in 1980. That makes sense for a company trying to (wisely) pinch pennies. (And this kind of... -

How to Identify Gibson "Tim Shaw" Humbucking Pickups
>>> I'd love reading any more info you might have on the Lawrences and T Tops if you know anything or good sources to look into, Thanks Sorry, chilipeppermaniac, I have very little additional information about "The Original," Bill Lawrence pickups and almost nothing about T-top pickups... -

How to Identify Gibson "Tim Shaw" Humbucking Pickups
Response to infinitune Hi infinitune: You did not say which Gibson model you intend to purchase. I cannot say for sure, but the indication (from many posts on the Les Paul, Everything SG, and other Gibson-related forums) is that many of the high-end models (like Les Pauls Standards and... -

How to Identify Gibson "Tim Shaw" Humbucking Pickups
How 1988 SG Custom Pickups Differ from (earlier) Tim Shaw P/Us Here is some information on the original pickups from my 1988 SG Custom: The neck and middle pickups (Photos 1-4) looked initially like they might be Tim Shaw P/Us without the batch or date ink-stamps (as some of the later Shaws... -

How to Identify Gibson "Tim Shaw" Humbucking Pickups
I purchased a 1988 SG Custom in stock condition (I believe) a couple of months ago. Great guitar--one that I have always wanted. However I discovered that Gibson may have been somewhat "loose" at that time (after 1986?) with exactly what pickups they installed in what guitar. In mine there... -

I am looking for a late-1980s or early-1990s Gibson "Patent No. 2,737,842" pickup in good, stock condition for the bridge position of an SG Custom. The ones in the neck and middle position of my guitar look like this (see attached photo) on the bottom. That is what I am looking for...- tps5352

1988 SG Custom
To all who replied (or will reply) (e.g., chilipeppermaniac, oldrockfan, everdying, sgtbeefheart, Col Mustard), many thanks. Your input was very helpful. Interesting that chilipeppermaniac’s 1987 SG Special had “The Original” pickups. I had a (black/gold) 1985 Les Paul Custom once—it had two... -

1988 SG Custom
to everdying: Many thanks. Those catalog pages are great, although they add some confusion to my research. For example: - The 1988 and 1989 catalog photos do show "Les Paul Custom" engraved on the black truss rod adjustment covers and small white pickguard plates. But not the 1987 and... -

1988 SG Custom
Hi, Yes, that was me. More than I wanted to spend, but (rare for eBay) I was able to go and look at the guitar before buying it, confirm that it was apparently not damaged/repaired, and since it was in really good shape and appeared authentic I went ahead and was lucky enough (I guess) to... -

1988 SG Custom
Howdy. Any owners of stock 1988 SG Customs out there? I just purchased what I hope is an authentic 1988 (pre-historic, right?) Gibson SG Custom (with "aged" white finish; gold hardware; 3 humbucking pickups; ABR-1 tune-o-matic bridge [with wire screw retainer] and stop-bar tailpiece...
