Here is a mid 70s Gibson T-Top pickup which is somewhat hard to find. measures 7.63k and has about 6 inches of lead left. Looking to get $150 shipped or trade for vintage Duncans or Blues Saraceno Parallel axis PATB-3

FYI Shaws first came out in 1980.

^ and thats far from a 80-85 tIM Shaw. 'Shaws have both an ink print and a serial number. Shaws are the most widely misrepresented pickup in the world. On ebay, you have everything from Dirty fingers to the pickup here, which is a standard common standard Gibson serial number pre-57 classic being represented as a Tim ShaW.

I have a Shaw in my Les paul, but I think it was probably rewound.

OP,

If the pickup is truely from a mid-70's Gibson, it is likely a T-Top with those readings.

I stand corrected. I thought that Shaw took over in the mid-70s. I will fix the post and change the title.

*ADMIN* can you please change the title of this post to be "FS/FT 1970s Gibson "T-Top" humbucker pickup"
