I have a 1959 Guild T-100D with dual P-90 type pickups (made by Frantz for Guild). This is a hollow-body (think ES-125TDC), and the pickups sound real good at low volume, and seem to be really responsive and articulate, but as soon as I turn it up a bit to get some crunch, it howls like a banshee. I just am not that knowledgeable about pickups, but have heard dipping these pickups in wax will reduce the microphonics. I am just concerned about changing the sound of these 55 year old pickups. Any thoughts from the forum on my dilemma?
