I found this in a cheap guitar a few weeks ago. The cover had not been off before. It seems to have the hallmarks of a T-Shaw. I know that the UOA5 became the magnet of production, but it has also been stated by others that Shaw used A2’s and A5’s before choosing a thicker UOA5. It sounds great in the bridge of a semi hollow.

Pre Shaws or T Shaws. For the first months they is used up old parts until May/June 1980 when the new Shaw bobbins arrived and the new rubber stamps were used.
