Oops! I should have just said DeArmond vintage 2000. The Gretsch version of the pickup is in my parts drawer but they are circa 2000 pickups. (Actually, I just installed one in the bridge position of a Surfliner that I have under modification construction.)

It will be interesting to see what they did with the pickup mounts on these. I doubt they reworked the neck angle, so are these regular new dynas that are right up against the strings, or did they come up with a lower profile pickup case?

Looks like as shown in post #19 here!

Great minds think alike - or...I'd been wondering too along those lines. It looks like they might have changed the neck set.

And yes, that might be extra interesting, because maybe, that could mean you could have enough string to bridge angle with a Bigsby B3....🤔

Zactly! It seems unlikely that they would do such a major rest on the build plan for this, given that their other variations are basically parts bin variations… but maybe just maybe….

Eyeballing my black Aristocrat ('23 model), it looks to be the same setup as the forthcoming model.

That being said, I wouldn't be against a B7 either...

It's not my favorite, but scratches the Bigsbyitis itch...

According to Guild / Cordoba, these are limited to 30 total, Europe only.

None for me...

Just a thought for those that want Dynasonic pickups in their Guild: Lindy Fralin makes Dynasonic pickups. I wonder if they would fit into Guilds, specially the current M75? Hmmmm.
