Hi: Guild Forum Newbie here, and for that matter Newbie to Guild guitars. Of the dozens I have owned over the years this is my first Guild, I love the guitar!! I am using it for my trio doing Blues, Surf, and Vintage styled R&R. Playing it through a Fender Deluxe RI at fairly high volumes, mucho reverb and slapback delay. Thus the issue with the pickups, they are too noisy, they buzz like a hornets nest.
I just competed (and we won!!!) at the Wyoming International Blues Challenge last sunday and the buzz was so bad I had to turn my guitar volume knobs way down to almost off and crank up the amp just to alleviate some of the noise. Also, the buzz actually increased!!!!! when I put on both pickups. I don't know if it is a bad wiring job or it's just the way these pickups are going to behave.
So finally here is my question, I'm thinking of putting P-90 style "stacked" humbucking pickups in it. Does anyone know if the pickup dimensions of a P-90 and what's on the Guild, are they the same. I'm trying to avoid unscrewing everything if I can avoid it just to check the size etc.
