Hi I am new to this forum. I got a B-301 from a local guy. I traded him Harley parts for it. He was the original owner. According to him, in 1980 or so he had it on a stand and a girlfriend knocked it over causing the neck to break off. He was able to get a new unserialized neck from Guild at the time. He had a local luthier set it. Anyway, he then "customized" it with active P/J EMG's and a new pick guard and played it for 30 years. I don't like the sound. I'm a passive guy by nature and it is too muddled sounding for me.
I also broke the neck off a couple months ago when it fell out of my cheap guitar stand after I turned my back. A woodworking friend is fixing it for me and filled the original bridge holes with mahogany plugs and is blending it (the original owner put a badass bridge on there). I want to go back to a single pickup and a passive wiring. I've seen pickguards available online. Wasn't the orig pickup a Dimarzio? If so, could someone recommend a model that fits the pickguard and is a nice all around passive pickup? thanks!

I had to ponder the double pole thing for a while although it is now perfectly clear.
