Back in the eighties I used to own a Heritage 80 Les Paul. The pickups used to squeal so I had them wax potted. I honestly can't remember how they turned out, but for some reason I replaced them with some Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers. These were a much darker sounding pickup and ultimately I sold the guitar. It was just too heavy to play all night at a gig. Fast forward to now and I stumbled across a few articles about Gibson pickups in the early eighties and how Gibson enlisted this guy Tim Shaw to reproduce PAF style pickups for their guitars. Now it seems some people think they're a big deal and the pickups are commanding big prices. I went hunting and found that I still have the set that came out of my old Heritage 80. They have the correct ink label on them but of course they've been wax potted. I don't have a spare guitar to put them in to see how they sound now. The question is do I hang on to them, sell them or bin them?
