Acclaimed pickup guru Tim Shaw’s pickups are founded in his work with the creators of humbucking pickups. The result of literally decades of R&D, ShawBucker pickups are carefully voiced for full, robust tone while remaining true to original humbucking pickup character. These feedback-resistant pickups are highly dynamic, but not microphonic. ShawBuckers will enhance but not overshadow the fundamental tone of any guitar they’re installed on. The Shawbucker 1 is recommended for either position in a HH configuration or as the bridge pickup in a HSS configuration since it blends very well with single-coil pickups. The ShawBucker 2 has a slightly hotter output than the Shawbucker 1 and is recommended for use in the bridge position in an HH configuration or a HSS configuration.
