well i've been searching and searching for a 50s-60s Guild hollowbody with Franz pups for about 2 years now. You guys probably seen this on ebay, i was the only bidder and lucky for me. The guitar is in fantastic shape, the neck, pups, binding, frets, inlays and electronics are in fabulous condition for being 50 yrs old. I have some real nice guitars with aftermarket pups, and plenty of P90 type guitars have gone through my hands BUT nothing, nothing sounds as good as this guitar, especially the neck pickup. The pinup girl is hiding the only imperfection on the guitar, there was the guys name stickered on the guitar and it lifted the finish, i didnt want to cover it with a sticker but it was making me crazy. Also the plastic on the headstock was starting to lift, a cheap easy repair was all it took. The best part of this guitar is by far the neck, not thin like i was expecting, its round but super fast. Anyway thanks for looking, im probably done buying guitars for a long long time...............i think.
one question, can these pups be made better by cutting the cap and wax potting. they are way moer quieter than i would have thought.
