bluetigerdk Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I have a 2003 standard and in the pickup cavity there is written SH the pickups is marked Pattent applied for. I know Gibson made some Tim Shaw pickup reissues. How can i see if these pickups are TS reissues ? So what does the SH stand for ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 That is a beautiful guitar! In 2003 Gibson did a limited run, for the last time ever, of Brazilian Rosewood fret boards... If you are lucky you might have one. You can get all the information on your guitar from Gibson customer service. As far as the SH in the pick up cavity goes I would guess the S stands for standard. I'm not sure what the H would be for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Usually those are finish codes. CB ...Cherry Sunburst. TB... tobacco sunburst HB... Honey Burst etc. No idea what the SH would be though since your guitar looks to be a Cherry Burst. Did it have a special name for the finish?

G McBride Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think the builder fixed "it" so he didn't write the rest of the letters inside the cavity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 SH stands for Sam Houston. It means Sam Houston built your guitar. I can answer any question. I'm here to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluetigerdk Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I guess it might be a mistake, should have been HS for herritage sunburst but swapped the letters by mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 SH stands for Sam Houston. It means Sam Houston built your guitar. I can answer any question. I'm here to help Um, I'm pretty sure they put Sam in the 335 department; He kept chambering perfectly good Les Pauls.......Maybe he worked his way back into the LP section.....hmmmm.......... I guess it might be a mistake, should have been HS for herritage sunburst but swapped the letters by mistake It could also have been inspected by # 13, which would explain the S.H., as # 13 was 'let go' by Gibby and now works as an inspector at Ibanez.....# 13 was dyslexic; he kept sending righty guitars to stores ordering lefties.........so, H.S. became S.H.
