This one sits squarely in the Tim Shaw transition window. Stamped JAN 9, 1979 on the baseplate, correct patent-number construction, braided single-conductor lead, and all the late-’70s Gibson tells you want to see.
Meters a healthy 7.69kΩ, right where these Shaw-era pickups tend to live — open, PAF-leaning, and musical. Not hot, not compressed, not a Dirty Fingers situation. Warm lows, clear highs, and that chewy midrange that made late-’70s Gibsons such great rock guitars.
To be precise and honest:
This is best described as Tim Shaw–era, not a later reissue and not a modern interpretation. Period-correct, era-correct, and it sounds exactly like it should.
No hype. No guesswork. Just real Gibson history.
