Скачать или смотреть Tim Shaw PAFs, 1984 Gibson Explorer, AcedoAudio 296

These pickups were installed on this '84 Gibson Explorer when I bought it, but one of them didn't work and I never had a clue about what they were. So I had them replaced with DiMarzios and kept them in a drawer for 15 years.

Recently, I showed them to a pickup maker and he said they were probably generic ceramic pickups. That gave me some courage to open up the broken guy and try to repair it, trying to figure out in the meanwhile what model was that.

Turns out these are PAF reissues made in the 80s by Gibson with the help of Tim Shaw, the first person to reverse-engineer their first humbuckers. Here's what I found:

Roughcast Alnico magnet
White plastic spacers
7.4kohm DC resistance
Patent number stamped on back
Ink code on back (faded, last 3 digits seem to be "284")
Penny-coloured copper wire
Unpotted
