Hi,


I've got an Flying V Korina from 1983 with gold hardware, all original except for the pickups and I've been considering getting a set of original pickups to restore it.
I've done some research and all V's during these years have pups with 153xx3/154xx3 stamped in black ink on the bottom of them, 153xx2/154xx2 would be fine too.
I might be able to get a 154xxx so a single 153xxx could also work.


Anyone that got something that fit that description for sale?

Cheers,
Lars

An eBay/Reverb search for "Tim Shaw Humbucker" might get you there.

Thanks for your suggestion, I kept my eyes on those sources for a while and not yet found the perfect match. Since it was commonplace during the 80's to swap pups (as in my V), I'm pretty sure there's some lying around and I was hoping perhaps someone at this forum might have a set.
