MrRoundel Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I see tar back pickups advertised on Ebay as Tim Shaws. I've also read that they could be T-tops under the epoxy. How accurate are these claims? I have a tar back in my '74 Std., and wonder whether or not that could be an original pickup for the period. Does anyone know the year that Gibson started making the tar back pickups, and for how long they ran? They do seem to generally read very low DC resistances. I like the sound of mine, but am wondering if it could be original to the guitar. I just picked up a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover that reads 7.7K ohms that will replace the Super Distortion that's in the neck position. From what I've read, these are very nice pickups. Now, to get it installed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
