This is from Fretboard Summit 2016. It features Rick Turner, Jack Casady and Dan Schwartz. The Guild specific content includes Jack's original modified Starfire that was stolen and was recently recovered, Dan's M85 that was a gift from Phil Lesh, a comment about how Jack's B-30 is not all that easy or fun to play, and how two Starfires were ordered to replace the stolen one and that one went right to Turner to be modified. There are a lot of stories about the work and innovation that happened before Alembic was a company but are usually attributed to Alembic. Comments about Jack and his father building Heathkit equipment. General comments about research and development in the area of pickups and implication that was essentially funded by the Dead, the Airplane and other bands that were striving for better sound. A lot of discussion of things that were tried and why, such as movable pickups.
It's almost two hours so you may want to multitask but it is check full of good stuff.
I think Dan posted on LTG that this was happening, before the summit. The story of the M85 has been told here before as has the stolen Starfire and it's recovery and restoration by Turner. If the turns into a thread I might even get around to finding links to those posts.
