Fine looking guitar. What do you think of neck and fretboard?
The California pickups were made in Japan for Guild. They were in the Guild price lists and also single coil versions of California pickups were available for the solid body guitars. I can only guess that Hans referred to Japan when saying "Pacific". We also had a thread somewhere comparing the look of the DiMarzio made Guild XR-7 pickups (both rows of the polepices have screw slots) with the California pickups.Then Hans told me "the back of the Pacific pickup should be stamped "California Pickup" in purple" (which they are) so my feeling is they are just one in the same?
