Help Identifying a Pickup in a Modded Melody Maker
Can anyone help identify the pickup in this Melody Maker I just picked up (which is amazing by the way)?

It appears to be a Gibson Shaw. What numbers are inked? Looks like 13n n80

Thanks for the help. Its definitely a Shaw 138 (bridge) from October, 1980, probably one of the earliest. It has "Pat No. 2737842" stamped in the metal and "1381080" stamped in ink. When I first played the guitar it sounded really special. Now I know why. Any idea on the average market value for a pickup like this (not that I plan on selling)?
