Info for california pickups?

[Guest]

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has any information on California humbuckers from around 1984 as I just fell into a guitar for free made from guild parts. The guitar sounds great after a setup but I cannot find any information anywhere about them. Any type of information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey, I just bought a Guild guitar that had all the parts robbed from it. Maybe they were separated at birth. :lol:

Hey Steve,
Did you buy a stripped '62 Starfire or a '65 T-50 on eBay?

I would like to know as well. I have an extra California humbucker with a short lead. It doesn't look like it's ever been used.

No, I have a S-281 Aviator.

Feel like selling it?

Sorry, a lot of junk going on at the moment. The California humbucker, I meant.

Is that one of the super strat kind of Guilds?

Oops! I just realized my unintentional thread hijack. My apologies to you elyman6. This kind of thing happens here often. We're like a buncha kids at the lunchroom table.

Wish I could offer insight. Forgive my ignorance but what are the California humbuckers? I don't recall ever coming across the term. Are you guys referring to the Guild XR-7 pickups?

Welcome to the LTG!

I too have a Guild with California pickups and have wondered where and when they were made.. My bet is Korea...

No, they were made in Japan!
