T-Top/Shaw

For those who are looking for my interpretation of 70s and 80s Gibson pickups:

Sorry, no reviews or clips yet. Too new.

Re: T-Top/Shaw

Interesting... And what makes a Shaw pickup a Shaw? DC resistance? Tones? What can we expect from these?

Re: T-Top/Shaw

Skatterbrane;
I would love to see Frankie "Starrman" Starr demoing theese with both clean and overdriven.

One thing that makes a T-Top is matched bobbins they´re equally wound with a brighter sounding wire than the Plain Enamel which were used in the late 1950s.
Target resistance for T-Tops were 7,5kOhm +- 0,25kOhm.
Shaw´s are also low output and a little brighter sounding wire.

Just google "Tim Shaw" and you´ll find some stuff about him
