Guild lb1 replacement

[Jared macneill]

So let's make a list of pickups that will fit the lb1 withoud modification.
last March I bought a guild Newark st. Starfire v, For the most I really liked the guitar but hated the pickups but found out really quickly that a normal humbucker is way too big to fit.
After talking to someone that had put t armonds in his guild I found out the where I direct fit .
So after debating with myself I decided to try tv classics expecting to need to shave off some plastic from the rings but to my surprise they fit perfectly.


So one option is "TV JONES-CLASSIC"

I'm not sure we have a lot of data to add, though I'll say that if the TV Jones Classic fits then all the other TV Jones with the same form factor will fit. That's actually a really cool thing!

The T-armond should fit, and that is a much closer reproduction of a vintage DeArmond than Guild's version. I'm assuming that they are the english mount variety.

Yeah . The body mounts would work too but the ears make it so much easier

yeah . I had a good feeling about the filtertrons due to them being smaller than a normal pickup but was unsure of the pickup ring due to the difference in the size but there wasn’t enough to make a difference

Which form factor did you direct upgrade with? I’m looking to do the exact same thing with my Newark Starfire V.
Did you do the DeArmond fit, universal fit, or something else?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like DeArmond but just want to make 100% sure before I start purchasing.
