Sorry I had so much trouble posting pictures. Ridiculous considering I'm a photographer and I used to code websites and host them. It's the first time I've been on a message board where I had to go find an image hosting site. I'm still not sure what I'm doing wrong with photobucket.
Anyhow, thanks for everyone's input so far. I hadn't noticed anyone posting until a few minutes ago. Tomorrow, I'll take some much higher quality images with closer detail made to the areas everyone has been suggesting.
My own research has me believing the hb1 is one of the "made by Guild" pickups for another company. Simply because there is no solder point on the rear of the pickup, the wires go under. Perhaps it was rewired as to include 5 wires for the phaser? It appears that the solder posts have been clipped off and moved under the rear plate. I'll show it in a photo tomorrow. Also, no scratched in date, but there is a red smudge.
The wood from the neck looks like it's a match for the wings, but the back cavity is not routed very well. I'll show that also. The wings are joined to the body with tongue and groove. The pots have been replaced, and the knobs are almost close to the positions in a DeArmond. Plus, obviously, the bridge and tailpiece are not Guild S100.
I really don't know if the thing would ever be playable for anything other than slide. I'm no expert, but I have to believe the neck joining the body that low is the culprit.
Alright. Pics tomorrow. Thanks again.
