Hi, I've recently purchased a lovely 1983 SF4 which is fitted with DiMarzio XR-7's. They don't sound great and looking for recommendations for the best sounding PU's. I've read that Vintage HB1's are the best. Any idea where I could source a pair?
Thanks,

Hello Patrick,

Welcome and congratualtions with your 'new' Starfire 4. Guild HB-1s would be the first thing I would try, simply because it was an original factory option
at the time. If you would like to buy some, I could probably help you with that. Just get back with me through my website.

Sincerely,

I have Vintage Pretenders in mine,very cool but pricey now. Of course Hans suggestion is great advice.
