Here's a really nice video of Chris Whiteman playing "Wave" by A. C. Jobim. I think the sound of the Guild humbucker on this model is really good.
That's what I think. I have one of those. I don't understand the attitude of LTGers regarding the AA's that have that pickup. I think it's simply an updated sound from the DeArmond 1100. Sometimes, folks hold on to "vintage."Beautiful tone!
To be honest, if I had an AA, I don’t think I’d mind what pup it had.

Uke, thanks fror that tip. I live in Charlottesville, VA, only 70 miles from Richmond. I'm about to begin lesson online with Chris Whiteman. I'll ask him if he has changed the AA pickup.Always love listening to Mr. Whiteman. He is from Richmond, VA and has connections with Lindy Fralin.
Thanks, Rich. I'd be interested to know if he has changed the pickup as well.Uke, thanks fror that tip. I live in Charlottesville, VA, only 70 miles from Richmond. I'm about to begin lesson online with Chris Whiteman. I'll ask him if he has changed the AA pickup.
The DeArmond 1100 pickups that used to come on AA'S are a proven design - an awful lot of players from different generations swear by them, and more than a few classic albums have been recorded with guitars with that pickup.That's what I think.

Uke, no, Chris Whiteman has not changed the pickup. It's the stock one. More proof, IMO, that the humbucker Guild used on that era of AA is pretty okay.Thanks, Rich. I'd be interested to know if he has changed the pickup as well.
Made not to be overplayed.Not over played! Wonderful.
Masterfull.
Walrus, I enjoy playing my AA both ways, with the pup and acoustically. The AA stands alone at the top of all Guild models IMO.+1! I'd play it unplugged if I had to!
