skipburz Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Greetings, Does anyone know which humbuckers came stock in ES-175s from 1988-1990? I assume this is a bit too late for the Tim Shaws, but I'm not sure which ones came next. I assume they're Alnico II. Anyone know? Thanks much.

TomV Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 They used Bill Lawrence HBs in that era - you can tell them by the big heads of the (positioning) screws -- pics ? Not everybody´s favorite, the bridge pu was quite hot (like 14k) ... not sure if they used these in 175 though.. in LPs certainly.. Later, 1991 or 1992 came the 490R/498T , alnico 2 + 5. Very underrated pickups IMO, at least in their original version, who knows what happened with them later (like they did with Classic57s - cheaper insulation on wire, maybe ?)
