• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

1980 LPC pups. Can someone help me id what these are? Shaw's?

Could be the last incarnation of the T-Tops ? If you could get a look at the coils underneath the covers that could tell you . How do they sound ? Do you like them ? If so leave them be and rock out .

They totally rock out! Just thought it would be nice to know what I have. Thanks for responding.

That's a nice Les Paul , done up in the Peter Frampton look with the white plastic . How does she play ? and how about her weight , and lastly and most important her tone ? P.S. what amp are you playing her thru ?

It’s actually a gold metal pick guard and yes she plays like a million bucks. Had the wiring harness and pots/switch/jack replaced with a setup from 920D Customs. Made all the difference in PU response and tonality. Quite heavy though and can be a bit of a back breaker. Playing through a Quilter OD200 into one of their single 12” cabinets (BlockDock 12HD) Through a TS9 of course!”

Very nice , and that was a good choice to upgrade the wiring harness . Sounds like you have a nice rig which is good and who doesn't love the venerable TS 9 . Bravo
