Re: shaws
I don't know about the Spotlights, I thought they made a "Spotlight Pickup"? Mike Slub is the man for that, but they did not come on the Artist Series Guitars. The active Artist had the epoxy encapsulated Super Humbuckers. Shaws are unpotted BTW, as all Gibson Humbuckers were(except those super hummers), until the 90's I believe. I'm not sure exactly when.
Yes Mr Shaw did do a heroic job.
I seem to remember the silver stickers may have shown up on the aftermarket Shaw Humbuckers we sold. They were not on the pickup but the plastic case they were sold in. Some would stick them on their pickups. I didn't see them on the rings on guitars till after 83.
Stevedenver said:shaws came in spotlight specials and the artist models (both lp and 335)-while you probably wont find a spotlight being cannabalized, you may find an artist as the rd electronics are often replaced-just a thought as to where to look-i agree there something to all of the stuff which can be appreciated-the shaw pups are one of my favs-very beefy and round and alive
